Conspiracy is a Macedonian thrash metal band formed in Skopje in 2016. Its members originate from the streets of urban Skopje, primarily as fans of metal, rock, hardcore, punk, and everything within the underground music scene.
As young individuals, they enrolled in music schools where they took their first steps in playing instruments, got to know each other, and began socializing in Skopje’s cafes and concerts that were happening at the time.
It was during this period that the idea of forming a band together took shape, giving birth to the story called Conspiracy. The initial lineup included Stefan Trajkoski (guitar/vocals), Davor Kapac (lead guitar), Ivan Dimishkov (drums), and MiloÅ¡ Blagojević (bass). The music they listened to inspired them to start creating their own compositions. After winning the Loser Fest in 2019, they released their debut album “Dehumanized,” followed by live performances in various cities in Macedonia.
In 2020, a new Conspiracy was born with a completely different sound, energy, story, and philosophy. Adrian, Alex, and Rade, who were also part of the Skopje street scene, decided to continue the story together with Stefan. The new lineup of Conspiracy now consists of Stefan Trajkoski (guitar/vocals), Adrian Petrov (lead guitar), Aleksandar Stefanovski (drums), and Rade Bikovski (bass).
With collaborative creation and new energy, their first joint composition by Stefan, Adrian, Alex, and Rade titled “Gnev” was born, along with a music video. During this period, the new lineup of Conspiracy performed at numerous festivals, including notable ones like “Vostanie 6,” “Zdravo Mladi,” “Zemjotres,” “Rudar Rok Fest,” “Metal Discharge,” and more.
