Summary

edit
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description One of the middle tracks in Orphaned Land's concept album, Mabool. In this 30 second sample, the crowd rejects the message the three angels (referred to as "these three" by "the crowd") central to the album's story try to spread - that, as described earlier in the song (not showcased here), if man does not stop their sins they will face God's wrath. The eagle (one of the three angels) tells them it's "a matter of choice," as they flee from the crowd, who tells them that "hell will break lose" if they don't. This sample is to be used to showcase a commercial concept album and how lyrics typically tell a single, coherent story through the albums' tracks. This sample is particularly good because of the theatrical way this section of the story is delivered such that that Kobi Farhi takes the role of the narrator, one of the angels, and the angry mob themselves, which is to be expected from a concept album, but not typically a more traditional, singles-based album.

Source (WP:NFCC#4) I ripped it from an audio CD I purchased from the band's website; the sample was cut on Audacity and converted to an ogg vorbis file.
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Concept album
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This 30 second, low resolution audio sample serves to showcase how an artist may tell a single coherent story throughout an album's runtime, across its tracks. Mabool by Orphaned Land is a very good concept album with which to describe this, as the story is very easy to follow and the lyrics are direct and straight to the point. In this sample, the band describes how the three angels fail to convince man to stop their sins, which is the turning point of the album's story, leading to its (tragic) climax. It directly follows the previous sample used in the article, during which the three angels were introduced, and proceeds the next sample, during which God summons a flood.

Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
While it is possible to explain in text that concept albums typically tell a single, coherent story throughout its runtime, it is hard to write it such that the reader may conceptualize how lyrics may be used to showcase thematic progression. It is easier for the reader to understand how lyrics may tell a story by listening to an audio sample in one is told.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is a six minute and ten second song from which I've cut a 30 second sample, which is only about 8% of the song's running time, which is less than 10%, or 0.8% of the entire album's running length (62 minutes). Furthermore, the song is compressed to a very low 63 kbs, which is the lowest possible bitrate I am able to make it in Audacity. It will also only be used on this one article, thus making its use minimal per Wikipedia standards.
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.
Other information Will be used in conjunction with two other 30 second samples from this album
