How do I sing like this? High notes/yelling

I really like this band. The vocalist often kind of screams while he sings. Is this proper technique? I would guess that it's not, but I like it.

There are a number of screaming techniques out there, some are more or less damaging to your voice.

This sounds like he's pushing himself to sing louder and/or higher than he normally can, which is not a great technique.
If done in moderation and after a proper warmup, it probably won't hurt much. Probably good to talk to a vocal coach if you want to do it a lot tho.

It also sounds like some of the distortion is coming from vocal processing. There are other vocal lines supporting him lower down so he can strain less and sing those parts quieter, which will reduce damage. He also appears to have some distortion built into the vocal chain, which will increase the intensity of the sound without him working as hard.

Also, I have to leave this here: "Plagiarism Is No Laughing Matter," Says Band Named After Movie Reference

Knuckle Puck have some very good songs.
