About – Conspiracy

CONSPIRACY is a thrash/heavy metal band from Skopje, formed in 2016. Born out of the city’s underground scene, the band emerged from a shared passion for metal, rock, and punk, quickly evolving from local show regulars into one of the most promising acts in the Balkan metal scene.

Their debut album Dehumanized (2019) introduced a raw and aggressive sound that gained early recognition, including a win at Loser Fest.

Building on that momentum, Conspiracy refined their style into a sharper blend of fast, heavy riffs and groove-driven intensity, showcased in releases like “Gnev” and “Progonuva.”

The band has built a strong reputation as a powerful live act, performing at festivals and events such as D-Fest, Vostanie, Zemjotres, Wind Rock, Metal Discharge, Wacken Metal Battle Croatia and numerous other concerts and festivals across the Balkans.

On June 6th, 2025, Conspiracy released their highly anticipated second album, “Zagovor” – a powerful and uncompromising release that captures the band at their creative peak. With razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and intense vocal performances, Zagovor blends classic thrash influences with modern metal grooves, delivering a sound that is both aggressive and memorable. Each track reflects the band’s dedication to crafting heavy, energetic music that connects with listeners on a visceral level.

Following the release of Zagovor, the band embarked on a tour, bringing their new material to stages across the region and further
strengthening their connection with audiences. The album cycle continued with the release of two official music videos for the songs “Control” and “Predrasuda”, visually expanding the album’s themes and impact.

A major milestone in the band’s career came on October 31st, 2025, when Conspiracy headlined their own concert in Skopje at MKC. The show featured members of the band Sanatorium and special guest appearances, including Risto Vrtev of the band Arhangel, whose support made the night a landmark moment for the band and a celebration of the Macedonian alternative and metal scene.

In 2026, Conspiracy reached another important milestone by securing 2nd place at Wacken Metal Battle in Zagreb, standing out among top regional acts and further cementing their reputation as one of the most promising metal bands in the Balkans.

With “Zagovor”, Conspiracy has taken a major step forward, showcasing their growth, passion, and commitment to the metal genre and proving they’re ready for the next stage of their journey.

The current lineup consists of Stefan Trajkoski (vocals/rhythm guitar), Adrian Petrov (lead guitar), Stefan Gjurovski (bass), and Aleksandar Stefanovski (drums).
