Poster of a Rock Band; Bring Me The Horizon, and it’s 5 members.

This poster of this band is pretty significant because of the small drawing on it’s middle. It is a drawing of a Throne, which is referring to one of their songs from an album called “That’s the Spirit” (Actually my favourite album from them) that came out by; 2015. Oliver Sykes, the guy at the front is the leader, which is quite important to notice that he is underneath the throne- there is a pretty high chance, that the song “Throne” is explaining his feelings, and the kind of behaviour/attitude he has towards people judging him by how he looks/what he does, basically towards haters. And he has his band members to support him, they are really close friends for such a long time.
