2011 studio album by Winds of Plague
Against the World is the third studio album by American
professional wrestler
The Ultimate Warrior (who performs a spoken-word track entitled "The Warrior Code"). The album is described in a press release as "the heaviest-hitting record of the band's already heralded career." "Refined in the Fire" and "California" have been released as singles, and music videos have been released for "Drop the Match", "California", and "Refined in the Fire", breaking the band's prior pattern of having no more than one video released per album. An unreleased song, a cover of
The Cranberries song "
Zombie ", was released with the
iTunes Store EP for "California".
Against the World charted at number 60 on the
Billboard 200, making it Winds of Plague's highest charting album.
