[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for Nocturnal Poisoning
Description	This is the cover art for Nocturnal Poisoning by the artist Xasthur. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Blood Fire Death, or the graphic artist. Cover for the album Nocturnal Poisoning by Xasthur.
Source	http://static.metal-archives.com/images/1/5/3/7/15373.jpg
Article	Nocturnal Poisoning
Portion used	Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy..
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Illustrates the article Nocturnal Poisoning which provides enough critical commentary for fair use to be applicible..Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.

[edit] Licensing:

solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
