I'm looking for more bands with music in the style of Gorgoroth's Pentagram & Antichrist and Sargeist's Satanic Black Devotion -- aka a Black Metal atmosphere with some underlying sense of melody.
Can you guys recommend some other bands with a similar aesthetic?
Horna is very similar to both bands you mentioned, sharing members with Sargeist. Lots of bands from the Finnish scene have a more melodic take on raw black metal; Behexen, Satanic Warmaster, Goatmoon, Baptism. Trelldom is Ghaal's original band, and I think fits your criteria pretty well. Svartrit is a band that also gives me a strong early-Gorgoroth vibe.

I would also throw in Mortualia. Slightly different, but also maybe The True Werwolf.
As R.J. said, check the finnish stuff. They all have a similar raw yet melodic vibe.
Some polish BM might also fit the bill, Mgla, Plaga, Odraza, Furia, etc... are all good guitar melody driven with cold atmosphere.
Check also old Marduk, more specifically Those of the Unlight and Opus Nocturne.
Bog of the infidel and Haxen, 2 bands from providence, Rhode island.... check eternal death records for upcoming releases from each of these bands
Heathen from Philadelphia, PA - EXCELLENT band, some of the best black metal I've ever heard, highly recommended, they have facebook and bandcamp pages to look into
Ancestral Shadows from nashua, new hampshire - bit more of a woodsy/folk/pagan kind of feel to this band but worth looking into if you want that balance of raw bm with some melody to it... also on fb and bc
Getting outside the U.S.A. now, I'll also add Kult Ofenzivy from the Czech Republic... their music gets tagged as "transilvanian hunger worship" but it's much more aggressive and brutal (for lack of a better word) than that album and with very unique and sinister vocals
Awesome, thanks for helping out everyone. Gorgoroth's Maaneskyggens Slave and Sargeist's Sargeist are two of my favorite songs, I don't know why I never looked for songs in a similar style before; I'll check out all your recommendations

The name Nargaroth itself is partially inspired/borrowed from Gorgoroth.
