Gordi (Serbian Cyrillic: Горди; trans. The Proud Ones) is a Serbian and 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 2024, Manojlović reformed Gordi with a group of younger musicians, the new lineup releasing the group's comeback, hard rock-oriented album Fenix. In the post-Yugoslav countries, Gordi are generally best known for their heavy metal works, and their fourth and fifth studio album are often considered milestones on the Yugoslav heavy metal scene.[1][2][3]
