Kerrang has a different, individual 'House Style' for each one of their Double Page Spreads, but they generally keep the same conventions - as you can see in the gif I've created above.
House styles are created in individual DPS' through the use of a colour scheme, usually 3 main colours, and through the use of fonts. Kerrang usually uses an artistic decorative font for the Headline, and maybe some other sub titles, and then they generally use sans serif, bold fonts for the other main text, and then either serif or sans serif type faces for the wording of the magazines.
The main image generally covers the whole of one or both pages, and care is often taken to make sure a main feature (e.g. artist's head) isn't in the midsection where it would be warped by the curve in the physical paper.
the main featured article is then placed around the main image, and other images are also sometimes added.
