Inside
There are 63 pages in this issue, 16 of which are adverts (approximately 25%)
The products advertised are band merchandise, albums and singles on various formats (CD, mp3 etc), upcoming tours/concerts, clothing, video-games and current television programmes.
The featured articles/topics in this issue are Band breakups, bands currently in the process of recording new albums, bands having troubles, personal struggles of band members, album re-releases, new album releases and bands who have just finished recording but have not yet released the album.
the types of articles in this issue are separated into "music related", and "personal"
There are 10 double-page spreads and they are mostly about upcoming albums and personal struggles of bands.
There are also quite a few advertorials which are hard to distinguish whether they are adverts or articles.
This magazine does have a "house style", for example, next to the page numbers there is a small "Kerrang!" logo written in capital letters and also a recurring theme of the article topics on the top right or left hand corners. Another example of the house style is that the articles, headings and general writing style is very colloquial.
The house style is appropriate to the target audience which implies that the target audience, mostly young people aged 16-25, will like being 'spoken' to colloquially and being able to find what the article is about just by looking at the top hand corner of the page.
