KING CRIMSON are a progressive rock band formed in 1968 in London, England. The band draws inspiration from a wide variety of music, incorporating elements of classical, jazz, folk, heavy metal, gamelan, industrial, electronic, experimental music and new wave. They exerted a strong influence on the early 1970s progressive rock movement, and continue to inspire subsequent generations of artists across multiple genres. The band has earned a large cult following. Founded by Robert Fripp, Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and lyricist Peter Sinfield, the band initially focused on a dramatic sound layered with Mellotron strings, McDonald’s saxophone and flute, and Lake’s powerful lead vocals. Their first debut album, ’In the Court of the Crimson King’ (1969), remains their most commercially successful and influential release, with a potent mixture of jazz, classical and experimental music. Following the sudden simultaneous departures of McDonald and Giles, Fripp and Sinfield assumed direction of the group for ’In the Wake of Poseidon’ (1970), ’Lizard’ (1970), and ’Islands’ (1971). In 1972, Fripp changed the group’s instrumentation and approach, drawing from European free improvisation, and developing ever more complex compositions. They reached what some saw as a creative peak on ’Larks’ Tongues in Aspic’ (1973), ’Starless and Bible Black’ (1974), and ’Red’ (1974). Fripp disbanded this group in 1974. In 1981, Crimson reformed with another change in musical direction.
