The Profile

American hard rock/AOR band formed by keyboardist Gregg Giuffria; debut album released in 1988. Known for melodic, arena-ready songs combining keyboards and guitar and for being part of the late-1980s hair metal/AOR scene.

Debut album "House of Lords" released in 1988. Original lineup on the debut included Gregg Giuffria (leader/keyboardist), Lanny Cordola (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass), Ken Mary (drums) and James Christian (vocals). The group was recruited by Gene Simmons' record company for the initial venture. The band later returned with a revamped lineup and released World Upside Down.

Two DeBaser reviews praise House of Lords' debut (1988) as a classic of melodic hard rock/hair metal and highlight the renewed-lineup album World Upside Down for strong guitar-keyboard interplay. Gregg Giuffria's keyboards and Lanny Cordola's guitar are singled out, alongside James Christian's vocals. Reviewers celebrate arena-ready anthems and AOR melodies while noting the band's comeback after the grunge years.
