Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This low resolution, 27 second audio sample of Epica's song "Abyss of Time - Countdown to Singularity" from their album Ωmega is an example of beauty and the beast vocals applied to a symphonic power metal song. It is compressed to a 67 kbps .ogg file.
Author or copyright owner	Epica
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	CD of Ωmega
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Symphonic metal
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The purpose of this upload is to provide an example of beauty and the beast vocals in the context of a symphonic metal song under the "Musical Characteristics" section of the article.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	It is difficult to explain what a growl or grunt in metal sounds like, unless the reader is always familiar with this style of music. An auditory example is easier to understand. Same applies for operatic vocals.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The file is short and is less than 10% of the length of the full commercial audio release. There currently is no audio that showcases this vocal style, and thus this is the only one. It is compressed to 67 kbps, and is thus low resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
