Don't sing like you would in choir.

Because of how loud it is, it kills the vocal chords. It's hard to explain but you sing more through your nose than your throat with metal. Tense up the muscles in your nose in different ways and try to breath out of it whil you sing through your mouth. Keep trying different things until you feel the strain leave your throat and go to your nose.

Well first of all, try smoking a pack of cigarettes everyday for at least 4 years. This will rough up your vocal chords and make them more Br00tal. Secondly, practice practice practice.
the strength of the scream or growl should be coming from your stomache not from your throat, that is where you power will come from.

keep your throat loose and open as you can. It's not the force of the growl that makes it work. Remember....metal guys have microphones, so it can be as loud as a whisper and still sound "scary"
