Plazma (previously known as Slow Motion) is a Russian pop band consisting of Roman Chernitsyn (vocals, lyrics, music) and Maxim Postelniy (background vocals, keyboards, music and arrangements).[3][4] The band was one of the first Russian pop band to produce its songs exclusively in English for a Russian-speaking audience.[5]

Their first two albums, Take My Love (Plazma album) and 607 (album), put the band on top of the Russian charts. The third album, Black and White (Plazma album), was released in 2006. In December 2017, Plazma released their fourth studio album — Indian Summer (Plazma album).

The band participated in Russian national selection for Eurovision Song Contest three times: in 2007 with the song "Living In The Past", in 2009 with the song "Never Ending Story", and in 2010 with the song "Mystery (The Power Within)".[6][7]
