The Profile

English traditional doom metal band formed by Terry and Alan Jones in the late 1970s, known for occult themes, early 1978 recordings and the 1982 demo 'Judgement of the dead'.

Early recordings date to 1978; a 1982 demo titled 'Judgement of the dead' is part of the band's early history. The band is associated with traditional/occult doom metal and has a cult reputation for atmospheric, riff-driven songs.

Two DeBaser reviews emphasise Pagan Altar's traditional/occult doom sound, praising sparse production and atmosphere. The self-titled album and The Time Lord EP are singled out. Vocals are noted as polarising but integral to the band's character.
