Napalm Death

The entire cover: because the image is 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.

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.

Artist. 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. Purpose must be stated here. 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.

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. There is no free image known, or reasonable possibility of creating one, that would convey the necessary information about the musical artist.

This image is NOT the original (official) cover of the 'Hatred Surge' demo tape by Napalm Death. This image was created to be used as a cover of bootleg versions of the demo tape. It is believed to have been created in the mid-1990's. The image utilises a picture of a later line-up of Napalm Death: the photograph of the group was taken in the downstairs bar of The Mermaid venue in Birmingham, England in March 1986 - it was taken by Andy Nunn of Birmingham (who appears as a poet on the 'War Crimes' LP by Doom) and was used to illustrate an interview with Napalm Death in Issue 3 of the magazine Total Cannibalism (1986).
