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
[edit]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.[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]
2006 reissue
[edit]Pakleni trio was rereleased by Rock Express Records in 2006. The album reissue featured two bonus tracks, "Duga noć" ("Long Night") and "Idi sad" ("Go Now"), from a 7-inch single Gordi released in 1978. The reissue also featured video recordings of the songs "Igraj, luduj", "Ona je žena" and "Tebi ne treba niko" from a 1982 concert by the band, as well as a video recording of Zlatko Manojlović's 2005 concert in Germany.[6]
