Books Books Books.

Lords of Chaos -- Alright, there is a lot of crticism of this book in terms of balanced journalism but aside from all of that, this is a entertaining book for someone who hasn't heard about the Norwegian black metal scene / murders. This may get her into bands like Burzum, Emperor, and Darkthrone. Godspeed.

Precious Metal -- interviews about 25 decent extreme metal milestones. It makes you want to listen to each record whilereading the book.

Two other books I havent read but heard good reviews on is Swedish Death Metal and Black Metal Evolution

the reason why I am suggesting books is that some of these metal genres beyond what Black Dahlia Murder do is somewhat complex and interesting not just in terms of music but history, philosophy, and aesthetics. I feel that diving into weird scenes with books is fascinating. If your girlfriend is not the type to like reading, buy her more books and force her to read.

Precious Metal: Decibel Presents the Stories Behind 25 Extreme Metal Masterpieces

I subscribe to the Decibel magazine, and I've read a little of this, mainly just the albums that interested me, but it's well written and generally a good read.

I'm buying it off of Amazon. It's only $7.58 used. Plus it has a write-up about Sleep's Jerusalem!
