Metal Hammer is a popular metal/rock magazine, it includes a variety of artists that are within the genre I am studying for my magazine. From the name of the magazine the font is very bold and it looks like the letters are made out of a metal such as iron. This gives the effect of being cold, hard to break. The chains being wrapped around the letters could show being trapped, possibly suppressing emotions to give out a hard exterior to keep u a reputation. A tattoo is also shown in part of the cover which could be showing how the person who has it isn't afraid to show who they are as they don't care what other people think. There is a picture of some sort of creature on the corner of the magazine which is trying to create the image this band 'isn't to be messed with' or possibly to reflect the emotions shown through their music. The monster is also being tied with restraints which its trying to get out of, the band are running towards this creature which shows them as having a 'bring it on' attitude as nothing scares or phases them. The facial expressions of each of the band members are showing they're angry. The whole background of the magazine cover is dark, this could be showing their emotions, how they feel, it also relates to their music genre as they perform dark music that lets out a lot of negative emotions. The angle they're photographed at; running ahead makes the reader wonder if they're running towards them, the whole cover of the magazine is meant to tell the reader Disturbed is a band to be feared.
