Slavia was a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1994 in Kongsberg by Jonas Raskolnikov Christiansen and originally named Dreygjarnir. The band changed their name to Slavia in 1997 and was later based in Bergen where Christiansen attended university. The band's various lineups featured members from Taake, Deathcult, Disiplin, Enslaved and Black Flame.[1]

On 17 November 2011, Christiansen died of colon cancer at age 31.[2] A memorial concert, originally planned as a benefit concert to raise funds for his treatment, took place the following day at Garage in Bergen and featured sets by Gravdal and Helheim, with Niklas Kvarforth of Shining performing with the former, in addition to a Darkthrone and Satyricon set performed by Nocturno Culto, Satyr, Frost, and Hoest.[2][3][4] As the only official member of Slavia, the band's existence ceased with Christiansen's death.
