Slavia was a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1997 by Jonas Raskolnikov Christiansen from Kongsberg in 1994 under the name of Dreygjarnir. They changed their name to Slavia in 1997.[1] The band was based in Bergen later when Christiansen moved there for university studies, and featured members from the bands like Taake, Deathcult, Disiplin, Enslaved and Black Flame.

Christiansen died of colon cancer that had spread to his liver, lungs and throat in December 2017.[2] With him being the only official recording and composing band member (all others were live and session musicians only), the band's existence ceased with his death.
