William The Conqueror unveil new single 'The Puppet And The Puppeteer'

With their eagerly-awaited new album set to land in the coming months, William The Conqueror have now returned to deliver the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'The Puppet And The Puppeteer' comes accompanied by a brilliant new live video, recorded at Marshall Studios, and follows on from the previously shared track 'Somebody Else' in previewing their new LP 'Excuse Me While I Vanish', which is out on the 28th July via Chrysalis Records.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Ruarri Joseph said, “’The Puppet and the Puppeteer’ could be a Jekyll and Hyde or Frankenstein's monster story—about wrestling with or losing control of your creation—who controls whom. I definitely feel like William has the upper hand sometimes.” Harry and Nae add, “It's a favourite for us in our live shows. It deserves to be played loud, on a big sound system. You can bring the hustle, the mosh and the lighter sway to this party.”
