ALFONSO CONSPIRACY, the uncompromising project led by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Max James, steps fully into the spotlight with the release of his formidable debut album ‘The Explicit//The Exploited’. Forged in isolation in Northern England, the project grew from James teaching himself every instrument and taking total control of his sound, turning solitude and frustration into a focused creative force. The first glimpse into the album arrives via the striking single “Who Are We,” setting the tone for what follows.
Across ten intense tracks, ‘The Explicit//The Exploited’ dives into identity, trauma, and inner conflict without restraint. “It’s an album of two halves—literally,” James explains. “I address trauma, play devil’s advocate, and tell my story all in one.” Blending abrasive heaviness with dark atmosphere and confrontational honesty, the record is raw, cathartic, and unfiltered. ALFONSO CONSPIRACY doesn’t aim to fit in or soften the edges, instead delivering a debut that feels like a declaration from an artist ready to be heard on his own terms.
