Tremolo-picking in the bm style is what you need to get comfortable with. Find the right angle to get clear picking but also hold the pick rather loosely but tight enough that the pick won't turn. Take advantage of the fling that the string will give you in each strum and rotate your wrist like you're holding a tiny shovel and you're scooping some soil really fast. Get into the habit of using a lot of up-strum motions like you're hooking the string and then push down with your thumb. For chords just do two-string chords and you can use your arm for this, don't overthink the speed because the distortion will make it sound how you want.
These are just my tips for getting familiar with black metal on guitar, before I figured these out I was over-thinking everything and trying too hard to tremolo-pick fast, making my playing like like a broken motor.
