Sweden was the bastion of Death metal in the 90s.

There's a really great book about the scene.

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.

I have a few recommendations for you:

  • Lords of Chaos: Pretty decent (if not slightly sensationalist) story of the Norwegian BM scene. It also covers Dissection, Absurd and a few other notorious groups.
  • Swedish Death Metal: A fantastic and exhaustive look into the early Swedih death metal. Lots of super influential bands are covered.
  • Sound of the Beast: I read this about ten years ago, so it's distant for me. I remember enjoying it. It covers a lot of the early scene very well. Lots of coverage on Motorhead and NWOBHM. It also follows Metallica's early career.

A book! It's a great and exhaustively researched read with a ton of great pictures including a whole section of old flyers and fanzines. Check it out if you can.
