Gothic noise band Crippling Alcoholism has just signed with The Flenser record label, which will reissue the band's Camgirl in early 2026.
Founded by Tony Castrati after battling alcoholism, the project began in 2022. "The name is not metaphor or provocation but a plain statement of origin, marking sobriety not as redemption, but as an ongoing confrontation with damage already done," the press announcement states. Castrati is joined by Tony Clark, Stefan Iglesias Lopez, Danny Sher, and Jonathan Jasperse, with newer recruits Aki McCullough and Brenna Rey.
Camgirl was initally released in 2024 on Portrayal of Guilt Records. Crippling Alcoholism is currenlty working on a follow-up.
