Pakleni trio (trans. Hell Trio) is the fourth studio album by Yugoslav rock band Gordi, released in 1981. Pakleni trio was the band's first album to feature a heavy metal sound, for which Gordi are mostly remembered.




Background


Gordi 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. In 1981 the band released Pakleni trio. Heavily influenced by the new wave of British heavy metal, Pakleni trio marked a shift in the band's musical direction and is today considered a milestone in the Yugoslav heavy metal scene.
