The amount of texts suggests a short snappy interview that means people who are into all bands
can skim through it quickly, whilst those who specifically look for this band will be able to view it
closer and take more from it to satisfy their band craving.
The text colour of red white and black follows one of kerrang’s colour scheme’s and all works on
the basis of a gothic pallet with bold contrasting colours that the specific audience will
appreciate.
