History

Slavia was a black metal band from Norway which was formed by Jonas Raskolnikov Christiansen from Kongsberg in 1994 under the name of Dreygjarnir. Changed 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. Vocalist Jonas was found dead in his apartment on 17 November 2011. He died of colon cancer that had spread to his liver, lungs and throat. 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.
