Here is the April dose of fresh trailer music! Although, with 51 albums, lagging somewhat behind the record-breaking month of March, it doesn't fail to deliver a wide variety of genres. Whether you're in a triumphant mood and celebrating, or, on the contrary, more of a melancholic mood and in need of some uplifting tunes, this post definitely has something for you. But most importantly, the month of April marks the return of J2 – the master of epic covers! It's been 4 years since his last trailer music release and 6 long years since the last entry in the Iconic Series, after having produced no less than 8 albums in this series just between 2014 and 2019 alone. The brand new 9th volume offers a fresh batch of trailerized remakes of a dozen oldies ranging from late 1960s to early 2000s, so everyone will probably identify a song from their childhood on this album. Let the belated Easter egg hunt begin!

Welcome to the first post of 2025 and I hope you had a fantastic start to the new year! Historically, January has been one of the most productive months of the year in terms of trailer music releases, likely a consequence of clearing the holiday-induced backlog of unpublished music from December. And here we are, kicking off this year's news with 55 new albums! You'll find an abundance of epic music among them with inspiring and triumphant energy – just what we all need at the beginning of a new year! Don't miss Soundcritters' Far Beyond, coming out exactly two years after their previous release, as a prime example of that and with a little bit of a fantasy flavor. The Lorne Balfe Collection also grew for the first time since their debut in 2023 and that by no less than four thematically diverse albums, including gothic and cyberpunk music! Go check 'em all out and find some new favorite tracks!
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!
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".
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.
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!
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.
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!
January had set the bar high in terms of the amount of new music, and February certainly didn't disappoint, allowing me to present a selection of 46 new trailer music albums for you in this post. You'll again find a few newcomers to my trailer music blog. Introducing Artem Yegorov, yet another Ukrainian composer, who released his 5th cinematic music album after more than 4 years. Next, End of Silence, a label originally published by Really Slow Motion, then acquired by Dos Brains a couple of years ago and added to their catalog of several labels (alongside Silver Screen, Rogue Souls, Third Rail, and others). Unfortunately for us fans, most releases from the Dos Brains labels are industry-only and not even available for preview unless you're a client, and only tend to become available to the public about 3 years after their release. The most recent End of Silence album is, however, a collaboration with IMAscore and the album was released straight to the public, yay! And finally, I introduce a new album by Endgame, an APM Music library aimed at the video game industry. Enjoy all the new music!
It doesn't come as a surprise that in December music production slows down drastically, thanks to the holiday season. I still managed to find 29 new trailer music albums released in this last month of 2022 though! Among them is one new release each from Iván Torrent and Mattia Turzo, neither of which is an entirely new name on my blog, as they compose music for various trailer music companies. Iván Torrent has previously composed music for Audiomachine and Really Slow Motion, among others, and Onyria is his third solo album that came out almost exactly 5 years after his previous solo release. Mattia Turzo, on the other hand, has released several solo albums under Tony Tobolt Records and contributed music to the catalogs of Colossal Trailer Music, Glory Oath + Blood, and several others, including Position Music which released his most recent solo album, Prateria. Enjoy this last collection of new trailer music from 2022!
In this March post, I bring you 33 new trailer music albums. I know, that's a drop from the January and February numbers, perhaps because of spring break travels. Moreover, a half of them were released for industry only, at least for now. I expect at least a few of them to become available on streaming services sooner or later, and I will make sure to update the post with links accordingly. In the meantime, you can still preview these albums in their full length on the licensing websites linked throughout the post!
The holiday season is over and music is back to being produced at full throttle! After the rather meager album selection in December, hopefully the 43 new releases introduced in this January post will make up for it. Enjoy the first bunch of trailer music albums of 2022!
This month I'm introducing 41 fresh trailer music albums and EPs, with the majority being the usual epic and hybrid orchestral action/drama/adventure, but you'll find a great deal of more subtle reflective, emotive, investigative and ambient drama too in the collection. Help yourself to the music of your choice below!
With spring in full swing, the trailer music industry also produced a lot of new music this month! Below you'll find almost 40 new albums from 28 different libraries/labels/individual composers, some familiar from the previous posts, and others releasing their first album this year. Go ahead and listen to whatever catches your eye!
