I am trying to convert a girl i am currently seeing to the glory that is metal. How do i do that. She is really into symphonic metal like the early nightwish and epica which is a start i guess. Apart from that she is a huge Weeb and really into K-Pop. What bands should i introduce her to and in what order. (Harsh vocals are somewhat of a problem beacause she mostly listens to music she can sing along to) I have a few ideas maybe you guys have some suggestions too.
Have you guys had success with someting like that in the past ? If yes share stories.
You need to traumatise her, head wound, forced horrific witness
you know? then the mind is malleable

Give her some entry level stuff that's pretty easy to listen. Bands like Rammstein or Sabaton come to mind. Also if you go down the harsh vocals route eventually make sure to show her bands that are catchy and melodic first. Dissection, Amon Amarth are good picks imo.
John James
This. Show her Les Voyages de lame by Alcest or shit like that.
Kevin Gray
What he said, also stuff with a gothic vibe like Cradle of filth. Fits the profile OP describes. As for the weeb part, maybe X Japan, Maximum the hormone, Babymetal (hate that band), and other animu stuff to get her interest
James Sanders
fucking vomit
Alexander Hernandez
Type O Negative
Julian Young
The newest Metallica album is a good sound mix of their 80's kino and classic rock
Connor Butler
Give her some weeaboo melodeath and power.
Sithu Aye Blood Stain Child Thousand Leaves
Alcest because anime girl on cover
Also DragonForce , Kamelot and Amaranthe because entry level pop/power metal
