FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PLUSMINUSZERO RELEASES UPTEMPO NEW SINGLE “RUNNER’S HIGH” VIA DOWNFALL RECORDS Finnish Hard Rock / Metal Outfit Continues Its First Run of Releases Ahead of Upcoming Album HELSINKI, FINLAND | AUGUST 31, 2026 Finnish hard rock and metal band Plusminuszero have released their new single “Runner’s High,” available digitally now via Downfall Records. Released on August 28, 2026, the track is the third single from the band’s upcoming album, with further details surrounding the full-length still to be announced. “Runner’s High” delivers an uptempo, melodic blend of hard rock and metal, showcasing the band’s ability to combine driving energy with strong melodies and a classic heavy-rock foundation. The new single continues the momentum established by Plusminuszero’s first releases since the band formed in Helsinki in 2025. While the name Plusminuszero may be new, the musicians behind the band are far from strangers to one another or to the Finnish heavy music scene. The members have a history that stretches back to the early 2000s, when several of them released three full-length albums with a previous band and spent years touring across Finland. Their experience took them everywhere from small bars and clubs to some of the major festivals of the era, building the kind of road-tested chemistry that only comes from years of playing music together. Eventually, the desire to create and perform heavy music brought them back together. Plusminuszero began when guitarist Toni Sundström and bassist Ilkka Rasi started working on new material. Vocalist Petri Korhonen and drummer Janne Kaartinen later completed the lineup, bringing the project into full form. Since then, the band have taken an independent approach to their music, recording and mixing their material themselves while reconnecting with the hard rock and metal roots that originally shaped them. That combination of experience and renewed energy is at the heart of Plusminuszero. There is no need to pretend these musicians are discovering heavy music for the first time. They have already spent years writing songs, recording albums, touring, and standing on stages across Finland. Now they are bringing that experience into a new chapter. “Runner’s High” represents the latest step in that return. With three singles now released, anticipation continues to build for Plusminuszero’s upcoming album. More information about the album is expected to be revealed at a later date. “Runner’s High” is out now digitally via Downfall Records.
