Fair use in Power metal

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the band, and how this band's work and style helped generate a style of music.
It is a sample of approximately 30 seconds from a much longer recording (4 minutes), and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value
It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion does not reduce the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. Vortiene (talk) 03:20, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
