i thought you want to do black metal not death metal. anyway getting the black metal shriek is easy. i couldnt explain. dont worry if you "sound flat" who could give 2 shits about being on key and whatnot. let it come naturally.
 
The typical black metal style is generally easier than death metal style, so you have that going for you. Practice, and record yourself to see your progress. Even a cell phone would work for this, so you should have no trouble. Check out the musician's forum for some detailed, very good advice.

hell record with an answering machine. its about time black metal bands get back to raw sound production. always avoid clean sounding production if you do black metal.

that or make a habit of screaming alot and when you fuck up your voice a little then i think you would sound like varg when you scream. he's my favorite black metal voice.

How to sound black metal?

Unplug your bassist, record in a tin shed and torture squirrels.

(while dressed in a loin cloth, waving a $1.35 wood axe about and wearing moms make up).
 
Basically just screach alot and put some vocals in the shrieking. It's not that hard to do a basic Black Metal screach. If you want to do the Melodic Black Metal or Symphonic Black Metal though... a lil more difficult. I'm still working on that (untill then I'll just play bass for my Punk/Screamo/HXC/Goth band).
