Ignore the "use your diaphragm" stuff. Just practice screaming full force, then make an "o" shape with your mouth, and try to force it down as low as possible, almost like you are "crushing" the growl. Keep practicing, and you should be able to increase the depth of the growl.

Many of those slam death metal bands probably use pitch shifters, but if you have a really low voice (think Phil Anselmo low), you should be able to do it naturally.

It should be blatant to anyone who has even a smattering of knowledge about harsh vocals that this is completely terrible advice. Please never post about vocals again, Iron Wizard.
