3 is the third studio album by the thrash metal band Soulfly released in 2002 through Roadrunner Records. The album's title is actually (aum), as shown on the artwork, but it is often referred to as III (particularly in text) as it is simpler to read, write and type and can be represented in almost any font. The symbol is sacred to many religions and is a recurring theme in many spiritual and meditative mantras. (pronounced aum or om) is considered to be a primal sound, which offers a link to Soulfly's previous album title, Primitive. The album features a minute's silence entitled '09-11-01' - a tribute to the victims of the September 11th, 2001 terrorism acts on the World Trade Center.
