King Crimson is a British musical group founded by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles in 1968.

Their musical style has typically been categorised as rock and roll, progressive rock and math rock. Though its membership has fluctuated considerably during its lifetime, the band continues to perform and record music. The name King Crimson was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons; according to Fripp, Beelzebub is an anglicised form of the Arabic phrase "B'il Sabab", meaning "the man with an aim".
