Indica Blues - Universal Heat Death

Born in the shadow of Oxford’s dreaming spires and forged in a haze of down-tuned amplifiers, UK heavyweights Indica Blues return in 2026 with their most ambitious and apocalyptic work yet. Their new album, Universal Heat Death, arrives January 31 on digital platforms and CD, marking the band’s first full-length release since their critically acclaimed second album We Are Doomed.

Since forming in 2014, Indica Blues have crafted a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling psychedelic, doom-stoner hybrids, once described as “bong-filling rock that is platinum heavy, but blessed with a melodic sensibility underneath it all.” Their blend of fuzz-drenched blues, doom, sludge, and psychedelic melancholy has earned them fans across continents and glowing press from underground tastemakers and major publications alike.

Their previous album, We Are Doomed, received 4 stars in Kerrang!, charted at No. 4 in the Doom Charts, and became eerily prophetic, with its apocalypse-themed release coinciding with the first wave of the global pandemic.

“We’re looking forward to touring Universal Heat Death, and hope no cataclysmic world events stop us this time,” says bassist Andy Haines.

Recorded once again with the engineering team behind We Are Doomed, the new album sees Indica Blues doubling down on what they do best: bluesy, fuzz-forward doom, towering riff worship, and dual-guitar chemistry stretched across dynamic, free-flowing percussion.

Across seven tracks, Universal Heat Death explores themes of war, revenge and teenage destruction, culminating in its breathtaking title trac, a three-minute descent into the dying gasp of the universe itself.

“After the end of humanity comes the end of the universe,” says guitarist/vocalist Tom Pilsworth. “We hope you enjoy it!”
