Job hunting is grim enough as it is – but if you’ve ever fancied swapping Indeed.com for a one-way ticket to gothic chaos, Cradle of Filth have just the gig for you. Yep, Dani Filth & co are after a guitarist AND a keyboardist – basically anyone daft enough to lug their own gear and survive on £25 a day in London. Good luck, mun.
📝 The “Requirements” (Straight From Hell’s HR Dept.)
- A good attitude – even when someone calls you “cancer” or “dead horse.” (Office banter, innit?)
- Pro-level skills – enough to justify a rockstar £200-a-day… which works out at about two rounds in a Camden pub.
- Bring your own gear – because apparently, Cradle of Filth spent the budget on eyeliner and dry ice.
- Tolerance to stress, abuse, and poverty wages – if you’ve ever worked retail, you’re already qualified.
- Silence under pressure – aka, keep schtum and never mention the “toxic environment” (until you’re in your tell-all book).
💰 The “Perks” (if you can call them that)
- £200 a day when you actually perform – so pray no one cancels the gig.
- £150 a day for endless travel – enjoy your 27-hour coach ride to Bratislava.
- £25 per diem – enough for a Pret sandwich and a bottle of water (if you’re lucky).
- £1,000 a year for the rights to your face, name, and soul – small price to pay for immortality, eh?
- £1,000,000 fine if you quit without 90 days’ notice – but don’t worry, you’ll never earn enough to pay it anyway.
- A “good environment” – but only if you thrive on toxic fumes, stress, and bandmate drama. 🥀

Final Thoughts 🕸️
Would I apply? Not unless they throw in free kebabs and unlimited corpse paint. But hey – if you’re into riffs, eyeliner, and questionable HR policies, Cradle of Filth might just be the gig for you.
