Finnish female-fronted alternative metal act Blame Me! release their new single "Imposter" via Out Of Line Music, accompanied by a full music video. The track arrives alongside the pre-order start for To Weather, the band's new album and the follow-up to their 2021 debut The Invisible You, due on CD on January 22, 2027.
"Imposter" is a high-tempo 174 bpm track that pairs catchy melodic hooks with the powerful yet soft vocals of Bini Silvennoinen. It was produced by Jesse Lindstedt and Dimitris Kavvadas, with recording, mixing and mastering by Rami Nykänen and Dimitris Kavvadas.
"Imposter dives into the feelings of a person with imposter syndrome. The uncertainty and self-doubt easily affect one's mind, making them question: if people knew who they really were, would it scare them away or would they stay? This song doesn't give answers; it is an inner dialogue meant for validating that inner battle. Even though a person is afraid someone will find out who they really are, deep down people just want to be seen. This is captured in the line: 'but I wanted to plant a trace of my existence.'" — Blame Me!
To Weather is built around the stages of grief, from denial and anger to acceptance, and follows an unplanned two-year hiatus that pushed the band to reinvent themselves. Blame Me! rebuilt their sound around a new rhythm section led by drummer Maiju Mäki while keeping the mix of metal heaviness and catchy alternative rock hooks. Across the 12 tracks, "Edge of War" pushes djent-heavy riffs into a story of being forced to leave home, "Always Misplaced" breaks free from a harmful relationship and "Time by Time" lets go of one that could not be saved.
"To Weather tells a story of endurance and weathering through difficult life events. It's a statement that in the end things can get better and even though the grief might not go away it can change form. In the end it is possible to find your own power, find new meanings for life. The album is a journey of self-discovery and the process of handling grief. While writing the album we were inspired by the different stages of grief. What kind of steps does it take to handle a significant loss. It includes denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance." — Blame Me!

About Blame Me!
Founded in Helsinki, Finland in 2017, Blame Me! are a female-fronted alternative metal band built around powerful vocal performances, emotionally driven songwriting, and a sound that bridges the force of heavy metal with the accessibility of modern alt-rock. The band draws from personal experience to create music that is both confrontational and cathartic - a source of comfort for listeners navigating hardship. Their debut album The Invisible You (2021) established their core sound, while subsequent releases including "Fears Don't Matter," "Musket Fire," and "Edge of War" built a dedicated following across Finland and beyond. Their most-streamed track, a cover of t.A.T.u.'s "All The Things She Said," has surpassed 1.3 million streams on Spotify.
With "Imposter" out now and To Weather open for pre-order, Blame Me! close in on their first big milestone since The Invisible You.
