Kerrang!

Kerrang!

Kerrang! is a magazine from the UK that focuses on rock music and is now published by Bauer Media Group, which is based in Hamburg. The magazine made its debut on June 6, 1981, as a special supplement in the Sounds newspaper. Its name comes from the sound produced when playing a power chord on a distorted electric guitar, which reflects its musical roots. Originally, Kerrang! highlighted the new wave of British heavy metal and the emergence of hard rock bands. By the early 2000s, it had become the top-selling music newspaper in Britain.

At another, they lift the AO Arena from its housing in the shadow of Manchester Cathedral and place it somewhere in the celestial aether. Should it be a cathedral you want, they both build and destroy one during the course of two hours. And that’s not even really the main event.
