The World Is My Enemy Now is the third studio album by American metalcore band Upon a Burning Body.[1] The album was released on August 12, 2014 through Sumerian Records. The album was produced by Will Putney, who produced their two albums, The World Is Ours and Red. White. Green.

Controversy

[edit]

In July 2014 the band received negative attention for a publicity stunt to promote this album, where the band reported that frontman Danny Leal was missing.[2] The band later posted the album cover for the album which was still unreleased, which showed Leal tied up in the background, thus revealing the whole angle to be a joke. Since then, the band refused to apologize.[3]
