King of the World Sheds Polished Blues with ‘The RAW Project’
The official release show takes place at Bibelot Dordrecht on Friday, May 29.
On May 29, 2026, King of the World presents their ninth album: "The RAW Project". While the multiple Dutch Blues Award winners were previously known for their flawless productions, the band has now opted for a distinct change of course. The result is an album that trades the drive for perfection for spontaneity and unfiltered emotion—a soundtrack for the raw times of today.
The Essence: Less Production, More Emotion.
During the writing process for "The RAW Project", a fundamental need arose to do things differently. The band abandoned polished studio standards and returned to the roots of "old-school" blues. In a time of social unrest, King of the World translates the zeitgeist into music born of pain and loss, yet equally of resilience and hope.
“We let go of the drive for perfection in favor of pure expression,” says the band. “This project is confrontational and unadorned, yet delivered with absolute conviction.”
An Established Name in a New Light
Since their formation in 2012, King of the World has left an indelible mark on the Benelux blues and rock scene. With performances at the North Sea Jazz Festival and Paradiso, and a cabinet full of Dutch Blues Awards (including Best Band and individual honors for every musician), the group arguably has little left to prove.
Nevertheless, "The RAW Project" compels the listener—and the critic—to get reacquainted. With guitar phenomenon Stef Delbaere (ranked among the absolute elite by *Gitarist Magazine*) and the indestructible lineup of Govert van der Kolm (keyboards), Marlon Pichel (drums/vocals), and Ruud Weber (bass/vocals), the band reveals a side of itself that is more intimate and urgent than ever before.
Moreover, on this album, Marlon shares lead vocal duties with Ruud—a move that lends this new musical direction an extra raw dimension. With this project, King of the World proves that they are unafraid to lay their souls completely bare. ~ Website: https://www.kingoftheworld.eu/?lang=en
