With the summer vacation season in full swing and the usual slowdown in the production of new music this time of the year, I think having found 45 new trailer music releases from July can be deemed a success. The selection offers a broad range of genres, so whether you're looking for something epic or not so epic, I'm sure you'll find something to your taste. Hey, you'll even find a couple of epic Christmas music albums, if that's your thing to listen to in the middle of the summer. With that said, I'm sure you can't wait to go ahead and explore the new releases, but let me do the usual introduction of a first mention on Trailer Music Hub. This month it's Twelvetones Production Music, a Hungarian label with nearly 80 albums in their catalog. In 2023, it was merged into Schubert Music Library, which is where you can find and listen to Twelvetones' entire catalog. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of their music is available for streaming, but I'll keep an eye on any future public releases and report them. Enjoy the new music!

Here are 53 new trailer music releases from June! Besides heaps of epic music, you can expect to find some cinematic synthwave and blues rock music among the albums too, and perhaps another one or two more unusual genres if you explore the selection carefully. In this post, I also introduce a new release by Michael Maas for the first time, a German composer whose name I'm sure many of you will recognize, as he composed music for the likes of Really Slow Motion, Immediate Music, Colossal Trailer Music and Silver Screen over the past more than a decade, and more recently for Justement Music. In 2020, he founded the very productive label Audio Attack, which offers both a production music and a trailer music catalog, boasting over 130 albums across the two catalogs at the time of writing. Besides that, Michael also wrote a solo piano album, Adagio, back in 2014, which is also absolutely beautiful and I recommend checking it out. Alright, see you at the bottom of the list!
Ready for another dose of trailer music? The month of May saw the release of many new albums, 54 of which you'll find in this post! That's a long list to go through (second longest this year, in fact), so I'll keep the introduction short. The only newcomer to Trailer Music Hub that I have to announce this month is Dodged A Bullet, a UK-based production music company. Since its launch in 2021, DAB's library has grown to 64 albums, so if they keep up the pace, I think you'll see new releases from them fairly regularly in these monthly blog posts.
A great variety of genres awaits you among the 48 April releases introduced in this post. Besides the usual menu of epic, suspenseful and reflective trailer music, you'll find here albums incorporating synthwave, neofolk and world music in a cinematic fashion, as well as the first Christmas trailer music album of this year! But before I let you explore, let me make a few introductions to the blog. Two composers, who should need no introduction among trailer music fans, release their debut solo trailer music albums: Nick Phoenix, one of the two founders of the legendary Two Steps From Hell, the era of which is now, sadly, officially over, and Paul Dinletir, the co-founder of Audiomachine, another legendary trailer music company. Another newcomer to Trailer Music Hub is the Swedish composer Ron Morina, who releases his second solo album, 9 years after his debut "Days of Tomorrow".
There are 53 new trailer music albums waiting for you in this March post. You'll find here the usual mix of epic and hybrid music, ranging from action to mystery to inspiring drama. If you seek something closer to mainstream but still cinematic, there are several albums of epic pop and hip-hop, as well as some symphonic rock/metal, dark synthwave and cyberpunk music here and there. And if you're just hoping to relax to some cinematic music, you won't be disappointed with the selection of reflective drama and ambient albums! Finally, I have one quick introduction to make. The trailer music company 3db Music was founded in 2022 and has released one album per year so far. Only their debut album, Ddaear, is available to the public as of now, with the other two being industry-only releases. You can still check them out on 3db Music's Source Audio page though! Have fun exploring all the trailer music below!
Are you ready for a trailer music galore? February brought us an exceptional bounty of 60 new releases, especially considering it's the shortest month of the year (although, admittedly, it was one day longer than usual this year). The vast majority of these new albums is available on streaming platforms, and I expect at least a few of the remaining ones to become publicly available too in the near future. It's a lot of music to explore, so I'll keep the intro short. Let me just quickly introduce 3 new names to Trailer Music Hub, and you can then dive into the sea of trailer music below.
Welcome to the first trailer music news post of 2024! Curiously, just like last year's January post, this one also brings you 51 new releases, which I think is a fantastic start to a new year of cinematic music! Amadea Music Productions had a particularly productive month, having released 9 albums, which must be the most I've ever seen a trailer music company put out in a single month. Another highlight of this month is Jo Blankenburg's Dune-inspired album Sirocco, somewhat bizarre, but mesmerizing and definitely epic, and a perfect listen to get yourself pumped for Dune: Part Two coming soon to theaters! And it seems like some trailer music companies started releasing albums of triumphant and anthemic music geared towards the Olympic Games taking place this summer.
Here is the final batch of 2023 trailer music releases! December being a major holiday month, trailer music production slowed down substantially, but you'll still find 36 brand new albums in this post. And 3 of them are by trailer music companies I never mentioned on Trailer Music Hub before! The first among them is Epic Soul Factory, launched by Cesc Vilà and Fran Soto all the way back in 2011. December saw the release of Alpha, Epic Soul Factory's first album since Sigma, their successful 2015 release. Next introduction goes to Synapse Trailer Music, which has been around only since 2018, but already boasts a catalog of over 100 albums. The Blue Devil, along with the sound design release Dr. Tick Toxic 2, were Synapse Trailer Music's last releases of 2023. And finally, let me introduce Omniscore, an exciting new collaborative project of Antti Martikainen, with the first release from December – Crimson Saga – being a stellar collaboration with Ian Fontova. Hope you enjoy the new music as much as I did!
Get ready for a year-end trailer music galore! In November I discovered 52 new releases, which is the most in a single month this year and, in fact, the most I've ever mentioned in a post on Trailer Music Hub. And not only that, I also have 4 introductions of first-timers on my blog to make! The first label whose catalog I only listened to recently and which released a new album in November is Amplitude, a trailer music label of Adrenalin Production Music Libraries. Amplitude released the first 3 albums back in 2017, and the number has grown to 34 since then. Next, I checked out OneMusic, a production music company founded in the late 90s and acquired by Universal Production Music in 2007, boasting hundreds of albums produced over the two and half decades of its existence. OneMusic's albums are typically made publicly available not long after their initial release to the industry.
There are 44 new trailer music albums, released in October, waiting for you below to be explored! They come in all flavors, ranging from action to fantasy, and with October being the Halloween month, there is a noticeable increase in horror music releases. But worry not, you'll also find cheerful Celtic and winter holiday-themed ones in the mix! Looking at the post cover, it actually represents the variety of genres remarkably well! As for new introductions, I have two this month. More than 5 years after his last release, the Portuguese composer BrunuhVille released Atlas, his 11th album (not counting compilation albums and EPs), featuring the amazing Julie Elven on vocals on one of the tracks. The album is a compilation of various singles BrunuhVille had released since 2018. Next, the UK-based Hungarian composer Thomas-Adam Habuda put out an album of both new and old, unreleased and experimental compositions. Featuring 27 tracks, Space Works will entertain you for a good hour and a half! Tom has composed music for Audiomachine in the past, among other trailer music companies, and Space Works is his 3rd solo album, with the first two released all the way back in 2011 and 2014. Now, I will finally let you go and explore the music. Enjoy!
With composers – and all the other music production folks – presumably getting back from vacation, we're back in the 40s this month (in terms of the new trailer music album count)! 41 new releases, to be precise. I won't be introducing anyone new today, but with the bonus introduction posts over the past couple of months, I hope I've earned a break of one or two months in this respect. :) Let me mention though that Non-Stop Premiere has released their first album (or rather an EP) since April 2021, so it's good to know that this library is not deprecated, despite its description on the Non-Stop Trailers website saying "legacy catalog". Sergey Cheremisinov also didn't release any new albums after 2021, which, with one album and three EPs, had been one of his most productive years.
It seems like it took a month for the effect of the vacation season to kick in. In August, I only discovered 35 new trailer music releases, which is quite a drop from the 45-50 you have gotten used to over the past several months. Despite that, I have one introduction to make! Frontier Trailer Music, based in Los Angeles, launched in early 2018, having released 8 albums that year alone. Published and distributed by 5 Alarm Music, their catalog is now 38 albums strong, with the newest addition from August itself, which is the first release of theirs that I write about on my blog. You can follow Frontier Trailer Music on Facebook, Instagram and X for updates on trailer placements and upcoming releases.
Entering the vacation season hasn't changed anything about the rate of trailer music coming out this month, so there are 48 albums waiting for you to be explored below! After last month's four introductions of newcomers to my blog, I only have one for the month of July, despite the number of new releases in this post. The Spanish composer José Manuel González Núñez has been composing cinematic music under the name "Sounds of Neptune" for almost a decade now. After two solo piano albums earlier this year, he now releases a 3-track EP of reflective cinematic music that I encourage you to check out. And actually, there is a second introduction I should make too: The Lorne Balfe Collection, a brand new Audio Network trailer music library (or "collection", as Audio Network calls it). However, since this library didn't just release one debut album, but six of them, I thought I should write a separate short post on it. So stay tuned!
Welcome to the 30th monthly post on my trailer music blog! You'll find in it a list of 44 new releases, but first I have four introductions of newcomers to the blog to make. Andreas Kübler is a German composer, probably best known as the former creative director and lead composer at IMAscore, but making music for other trailer music companies too, including Colossal Trailer Music and Glory Oath + Blood. In June he released his second solo EP, after a debut EP in 2020 that had come out just shortly before I started this blog. Next, Instrumental Core (the alias of Piotr Adamski) adds the sixth album to his collection, the last one before that also having been released just a month before the inception of my blog. Instrumental Core, however, entered the trailer music scene with his debut "dubchestral" release already back in 2012, after which he started closely collaborating with Really Slow Motion on his subsequent albums. The viking composers of Epic North – a Finnish trailer music company that also collaborated with Really Slow Motion in the past – are back from their Fimbulvinter slumber that lasted not the proverbial three, but five, consecutive winters. Just in time to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary with a new epic album! And finally, Immediate Music has released their first public album since 2020. Founded all the way back in 1993 by Jeffrey Fayman and Yoav Goren, Immediate Music is a veteran in trailer music, however, until recently, there seemed to be no new music produced by the company after 2020. That seems to be changing now though, as I've noticed albums from the past three years being retroactively added on the BMG Production Music website linked above. So, there might be more "new" Immediate Music music (uh, that sounds awkward) to look forward to in the near future! Phew, this was probably the longest intro paragraph I've written in a post... but don't get used to it! Go ahead and enjoy the new music now!
Exciting news: there are exactly 50 new trailer music releases waiting for you in this post! That makes May the second most fruitful month of this year so far. But, before you start scrolling down and listening to this bounty of new music, let me briefly introduce Maximum Impact, one of Audio Network's libraries, created in 2017. The library boasts 13 albums composed by the likes of Mark Petrie, Erick DeVore and Harry Lightfoot, with the most recent one released just this May. Most of their albums are available on streaming platforms, so check them out if you have any spare time remaining after listening to the 50 albums below. Enjoy!
