Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Cover of the April 12, 2023 digital issue of Kerrang! featuring Metallica.
Author or copyright owner	Tim Saccenti (photo) / Kerrang!
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Kerrang! Immediate source: https://kerrang.com/metallica-interview-72-seasons-kerrang-cover-story-lars-ulrich-james-hetfield-kirk-hammett-rob-trujillo-new-album
Date of publication	April 12, 2023
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Kerrang!
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The entire cover: because the image is the cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. It is used for the infobox to illustrate the subject.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	As magazine cover page, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the magazine would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The copy is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted material.
Other information	Use of the publication cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
