For the past few years, William Francis has been opening and thrilling the eyes and ears of his audiences and winning their allegiance with his haunting electronic “dark wave” project, William Control. Now, with three full-length albums, an EP, a DVD and several live performances (see below for details) under his belt, the theatrical and slightly dangerous singer, writer, producer and engineer (also known around the world as the magnetic, wickedly striking frontman for scene giants Aiden), has taken his project out on the road with his friends in Black Veil Brides on their “The Church of the Wild Ones” tour.
Infusing a new wave sensibility that’s a tip of the hat to ground-breaking predecessors like New Order, Bauhaus, Gary Numan, and Depeche Mode with an inimitable and exceptional twist of his own, William Control has already proven to be a welcome, irreplaceable, and energizing element of the Black Veil Brides tour.
You may think you know William Control and BVB from their albums and EPs, but the only way to truly experience them is LIVE, so make sure to catch them on January 26 at The Palladium in Worcester ~ and if you absolutely, positively can’t make the show, catch them the next day, 1/27, at the Armory Ballroom in Manchester, NH.
*****************************************************************
The latest album to come out of the William Control solo project, 2012’s Silentium Amoris, melds together dark, cinematic themes with experimental synth pop sounds. While undeniably melancholic and moody, it also evokes an unrelenting fury fuelled by aggressive elements of the industrial dance sound. William also 
just released a 90-minute live DVD entitled William Control – Live in London Town shot over the course of three days in London, England and featuring 20 tracks, including a brand new unreleased song.
William has two other albums ~ Hate Culture, Noir ~ and an EP ~ Novus Ordo Seclorum ~ out now. He has also had select tracks featured on soundtracks for Saw V, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and Underworld: Awakening and has appeared as a guest vocalist on tracks by The Used, Vampires Everywhere! and more.
You can purchase all William Control releases via iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers.
