Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice
Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, Chapters 1−13 is the seventh studio album by Finnish gothic rock band HIM.
 Released on 8 February 2010, the album was recorded at The Lair Studios and NRG Studios in Los Angeles, California, with producer Matt Squire, who had previously worked with The Used and Panic!
 at the Disco among others.
 "Screamworks" was HIM's first album that vocalist Ville Valo worked on completely sober following his time in rehab, which resulted in the band rehearsing more than ever before.
 Valo had set out to prove himself following his new-found sobriety, but the excessive rehearsing eventually wore some of the band out.
 Musically "Screamworks" featured a more accessible and straightforward sound than its predecessor, with influences from the music of the 1980s.
 Much of the album's material was inspired by a relationship of Valo's with an undisclosed partner, who served as his muse. Jesse Valo

 He is the younger brother of the singer Ville Valo, front man of the Finnish band HIM. Marilyn Manson (band)

 In 1993, they were the first act signed to Trent Reznor's Nothing Records label.

"My Girlfriend" is a song by the Christian rock band Relient K, released on their self-titled first album.
 The song originally appeared as "Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend" on the band's demo album, "All Work and No Play".
 The song is about Marilyn Manson eating Matt Thiessen's girlfriend.
 Thiessen wrote this song when he was 15 years old.
 Thiessen has said that he wrote it because of a female friend, who lived eight hours away in Pennsylvania, who he would talk to about many things including spiritual matters such as where God was taking them in the future.
 His friend would later turn from Christian music to Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.
 In an interview with CCM Magazine Thiessen stated "through this she changed her lifestyle [and] what she believed in."
 His friend would later be expelled from school and would be kicked out of her house and sent to a youth detention center.
 Thiessen would later state "She felt that Christianity was stupid and just this big hypocrisy.
 Being young and impressionable, I just wrote this little, stupid song, but that was the way I dealt with it—writing this song about how she got so consumed by Marilyn Manson." HIM discography
