Crippling Alcoholism is a grindcore band from the United States known for an extreme, noisy approach that blends elements of punk and metal. Formed in the 2010s, the group is associated with the grindcore and experimental extreme music scenes, favoring short, intense compositions, abrasive guitar tones, rapid drumming, and guttural or shouted vocals. Their work often emphasizes sonic intensity, chaotic arrangements, and a confrontational aesthetic characteristic of grindcore, with production and performance choices that foreground aggression and urgency over conventional song structures. The band is primarily recognized within underground heavy music circles rather than the mainstream.
