Try Dissection, Sacramentum, Catamenia, Old Man's Child, Dawn or Nokturnal Mortum.
All are more on the melodic side, but they do have this tinch of raw feeling as well.(although most do have decent production...especially in the case of dissection)
Not exactly the same as the more aggressive kinda type like Emperor, Darkthrone, immortal etc.(emperor is kinda melodic...with a good balance b/w rawness and production) but i guess it's a good start.

Raw black metal can get a bit annoying at times, but then, at the right mood, it gives me more satisfaction than anything else!
