Dark theme shows the gothic style of the band. Very clear title of the bands name, this catches the readers attention and also tells people who are not familiar with the band, who they are.
Title of the magazine as always put to the back almost in arrogance of not having to make it perfectly clear.
The singer of the band is obviously bigger and stands out more as he will be the most well known and almost a symbol of the band. Therefore, he is closer to the camera than the rest of the band. He is also slightly tilted with a mad smile to make him look more unstable and fanatical. The tour they are promoting is also pressed beside the bands title and slightly overlaps it. This immediately tells the reader where they can see the band and also shows what tour the band is promoting.
The poster offer is well proportioned as it is big enough to be eye catching, but does not take over the cover completely.
Facial expression of Jimmy Urine (far left) along with the caption ‘be afraid Britain, be very afraid!’ gives the band a mad like quality, something they obviously encourage judging by the bands usual persona displayed here.
Good layout, pose of the band members shows the mood as slightly insane and possibly dangerous which corresponds with the quote ‘be afraid Britain
Strap line banner shows mostly dark bands that are mostly similar to mindless self indulgence, again showing the genre Kerrang is usually associated with.
