The Day the Country Died is the debut album by Subhumans, recorded in 1982 and released in 1983.
It established the band’s mix of sharp political themes and dark humour, paired with fast, energetic punk. Featuring iconic artwork by Nick Lant, the album reached No. 3 on the UK Independent Charts and includes staples like “All Gone Dead.”
A defining release of the anarcho-punk scene—alongside Crass and Conflict—it remains one of the band’s most influential records.
