Background
editGordi started their career in the late 1970s, with their first three albums being progressive/hard rock oriented. After the band's third studio album, Gordi 3, keyboardist Goran Manojlović, brother of Gordi frontman and leader Zlatko Manojlović, left the band, Gordi continuing as a power trio.[2] In 1981 the band released Pakleni trio. Heavily influenced by the new wave of British heavy metal,[3] Pakleni trio marked a shift in the band's musical direction and is today considered a milestone in the Yugoslav heavy metal scene.[2][4][5]
