I've been looking for as much Christian Black Metal that is similar to the 1st and 2nd waves of BM as possible. That is my favorite type of metal after all.
By "Raw" I mean this in the sense often used today for music that tries to be more like the 2nd Wave of Norwegian BM. Ideally that which is primarily composed of the core elements of the genre, such as shrieking vocals, distorted guitars, lo-fi recording, an emphasis on atmosphere, etc. Clean vocals/guitars are minimal and keys are used more for atmosphere/ambience rather than melody.
I consider thrash and crust-punk influenced black metal, along with some "Black n Roll" to be "Classic" BM, due to often sounding similar to 1st wave BM.
To give you an idea, here are the bands I've gathered so far:
Horde -kinda obvious
Apostasy Arch of Thorns
Armageddon Holocaust Bealiah
Black Leather Bleedience Chaos Christ -These are the only Christian bands I've found that seem to be truly blackened crust
Crimson Moonlight -"Glorification of the Master of Light" and "Veil of Remembrance" count.
Demoniciduth Golgota -these have sort of a black n roll sound imo.
Frosthardr Dodsmarsch -very thrash laden BM.
Elgibbor(Fire Throne, Pozar, Tertullian, Tordenskrall, Nuclear Blaze, Koronatizor) -Yeah pretty much all of Fire's black metal related projects count, from what I've heard.
A Hill To Die Upon Frost Like Ashes Grim Mystic Winter Skald in Veum Wintersoul -these are all a bit of a grab bag. I think whether or not they count as "true" raw BM may depend on the track.
Well that gives you an idea, I think most major bands are here. Any others that fit in that you would recommend?

That's a wide variety of bands you've listed, excellent taste. I'm sure you know Antestor, but you also didn't mention one of Fire's (Elgibbor) projects that I really enjoy... Katumus.
Sanctifica - Spirit of Purity... There is nothing better if you like old Emperor.
I'd also recommend Dark Endless, SorrowStorm (the Onward compilation is amazing), Malakh (be aware he allegedly left the faith to train to be an assassin in the Korean jungle so some choose not to listen to it)...
There are so many. I'll let you check those out and might take a look at my collection later and see if there's anything else you should check out.
Oh if you like old Satyricon, check out The Slave Eye.
Also released this year was Marble Tomb, has a classic sound. And Luteøks will be releasing soon and the two tracks they have already shared certainly live up to what you expect from Ronny Hansen & co.
Stay kvlt for Jesvs, ~DF

The South American scene is for you! Devotam, Promessa Divina, Poems of Shadows, Ira Divina, Darkaliel, Soterion (Brazil AND Chile), Emperador, Rito perpetuo, and more I'm sure!
Outside of South America, you may like: "Full of Grace"-era Naglet, Noisgoroth (most of Nattesorg's various projects, really), Abdijah, Winter's Dawn, Verdelger, Malakh (South Korea), Christageddon, Brutal Arts, Duister Maanlicht (not all releases are Christian), and early Heaven Watch. Maybe Quest for Serenity, too.
If you like black/punk/thrash/etc, check out Beskÿd, Troparion, and Santo Culto.
Btw Koronatizor isn't technically Christian, Mason confirmed to me it's just like a "fun" project. Though if you don't mind "safe secular", check out Megiddon (Norway) they're Christians too.

Personally I am the most into second wave(-sounding) stuff as well. Toreva from Slovakia has terrific sounding albums. Besides that I do participate in Duister Maanlicht, Schraal and Wapenveld (the latter is secular).
Schraal's "Onheilige Strijd" and Duister Maanlicht's "Woud van de Kwade Geest" are my latest releases, just second wave BM-worship. The youtube channel Dot Dot Dot features both albums and you can check them out on SneeuwStorm Produkties' bandcamp as well.
