For those who don't listen to metal, the book he holds up is a book called "Lords of Chaos", a book about a string of church burnings in Norway in the early 1990's by band members from black metal bands.

It appears to be out of stock everywhere.
Anyway, you're now in a world where Burzum exists...a better world. Go buy a book called Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground.

A book, not a documentary, but if you haven't already read Lords of Chaos, I highly suggest it.
"Lords Of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground" is a phenomenal book on the history of the black metal scene

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.
This book is a pretty good summary of the whole story of Black Metal, if you're interested.
its called Lords of Chaos. Mayhem is the greatest metal band ever and de misteriis dom sathanas is fucking genius
Also, there’s a book called Lords of Chaos. I’m not even what you’d call super into black metal and I still found it interesting as hell. I started out just looking into Wikipedia and stuff, too. You’d probably love this book.

There is a really good book that talks about what happened between Varg and Euronymous called Lords of Chaos. They talk about the Meyhem story as well as Bard Faust from Emperor who killed a gay man. There are a good amount of interviews in the book. I definitely recommend it.
American Hardcore (http://www.americanhardcorebook.com/) is really interesting. Even if it's not your kind of music, I think hardcore punk is the most important musical movement since rock in the 50s. It freed the power chord from blues based music, it opened doors for everything from thrash metal, to shoe gaze, to noise rock, to indie, to grunge etc etc etc.
Also Lords of Chaos (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lords-Chaos-Bloody-Satanic-Underground/dp/0922915946) is thoroughly interesting musically and sociologically.
About that: I remember reading Lords Of Chaos and how there were people from the Black Metal scene who were in jail for murders and they were allowed to play music together in jail because they ended up in the same prison. It just blew my mind because I couldn't imagine anything like that happening in the States.
Lords of Chaos does the same and is a great read.
