William Control is William 'wiL' Francis' (Aiden) side project.
[I think that Nick is involved with William Control as well, as i've seen pictures from people who've actually seen William Control live already.]
His description of William Control, as the whole concept is about 'Who Is William Control?';
The smoke clears and in whispering waves of self-mutilation I can see the dark sky fall to pieces.
The world is sometimes too heavy to breath and the dead surround me like an ocean.
I can’t recognize the reflection looking back through the mirror.
I only grasp the concept of what it’s like to walk through life with a stranger holding a knife to my neck.
The empty shell of a shattered boy I know possess is my new skin.
Pain is my only horizon, hate, is my only form of flattery, ugly is the world around me and nowhere beyond the infinite infrastructure of the eternal lonely soul can my blackened heart be found.
If you want a glimpse of torment and bittersweet visions delight, I’ll gladly cut my head off so you can look down the hole.
Nothing there will bring the joyful bliss you crave.
Drinking lighter fluid to start a fire inside my guts, I am on a slow painful ride through the underbelly of hell and I wont mind if this is where we say goodbye and go our separate ways.
I am inside of you.
Living and breathing.
I am William Control
So check it out!

I partly agree with you here, I mean yes, he's trying to change his image, but just look at him at how he was and looked like when AIden first started and how he has changed over the years. I don't blame him for changing.
But I do think that the lyrics are still as amazing as Aiden songs. I did have to get used to the music, but now I enjoy it. |

And you should buy the album 
The main difference between William Control & Aiden (in my eyes) is the music. And well, the lyrics are a bit darker for William Control. xD |

Posts: 14569 | November 27th, 2008 at 01:37pm Until now I've been too lazy to check his music out, but I just did it now.
My first impression is that wiL is trying so hard to make something that is far away from Aiden, it just doesn't feel genuine.
When I first read about the whole "William Control" concept I thought it sounded great, but as much as I hate to say it, it didn't turn out to be so grand as I was hoping.
I don't know, when I've listened to the songs a couple of more times I might have a completely other opinion though.
But at least you gotta give the guy some credit for trying to do something different.

Posts: 13 | December 24th, 2008 at 07:02am Sorry, but I definitely like Aiden more than William Control at the moment. But I guess I've only heard Beautiful Loser. I still think that it's great because wiL is one of my biggest idols but I'll need to listen to it a bit more to make me want to buy Hate Culture I guess.
