Gordi (Serbian Cyrillic: Горди; trans. The Proud Ones) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1977. The band was formed by guitarist and vocalist Zlatko Manojlović, former leader of the progressive rock band Dah. Initially the band's works were progressive/hard rock-oriented. However, with their fourth studio album, Pakleni trio (1981), the band turned towards heavy metal. The band released one more heavy metal album, Kraljica smrti (1982), disbanding two years after the release. After Gordi ended their activity, Manojlović started a successful career as a solo artist. In the post-Yugoslav countries Gordi are generally most remembered for their heavy metal works and their last two releases are often considered milestones on the Yugoslav heavy metal scene.
