From the Cradle to the Grave is the second album by Subhumans, released in 1984.
The A-side features short, fast punk tracks, while the B-side is dominated by the 16-minute title track—a more ambitious, multi-part piece tracing the human life cycle. Recorded with John Loder, it showed a major step beyond standard anarcho-punk, pushing into more progressive territory.
The album was widely acclaimed and reached No. 2 on the UK Independent Charts, cementing their status alongside bands like Crass and Conflict.
