Continuing a fruitful musical spring so far, the month of May brought a bounty of new trailer music releases, 56 of which are introduced in this post. With this many albums, the collection naturally spans most of the subgenres of trailer music, including half a dozen cinematic pop and hip-hop albums, in case you have a preference for vocals over your epic instrumentations. But before you go on eagerly exploring, let me quickly introduce a newcomer to Trailer Music Hub. The German composer Soundmopi, who debuted on the trailer music scene with his 2017 album "Rise and Fall", makes a comeback nearly a decade later with his second epic album "Fractured Horizon". So, don't miss that one, and enjoy all the other albums you decide to give a listen to!

With the spring in full swing, I bring you an early-season crop of 50 trailer music albums released in April. There's a good variety of flavors, I mean genres, too, so I'm sure at least a handful of the 50 fruits will be to your liking! Definitely don't miss Resonance, Audiomachine's first direct-to-public release in a couple of years, not counting the recent public release of the 2024 album Equilibrium. It offers a mixture of epic choral covers of some famous songs, as well as originals, featuring the Angeles Chorale, and Merethe Soltvedt's vocals too in one song. Another album I wanted to highlight is Zenith by Really Slow Motion – another epic vocal release, but this one released to the industry only, at least for now. Featuring the amazing Alexa Ray on vocals, it certainly isn't a usual epic pop album, so check it out on the BMG Production Music website! Finally, if you're one of those eagerly awaiting the FIFA World Cup to begin, you'll find a few epic sports-themed releases too in this post, so, hopefully, that will make the wait more bearable. Either way, enjoy the April selection!
The summer is over, kids are back in school, and composers are back at work – or wait, maybe they never took a vacation? Each of the summer months, I have been able to find around 60 new trailer music releases, which is really no less than the September's 61. Speaking of vacations, I spent a week and a half in Alaska and had a spectacular time, about as far away from civilization as it gets, but with plenty of epic trailer music playing as the soundtrack to the road trip through the epic landscapes. Definitely recommend visiting this wild state! Now, let's talk about music news though.
Who's ready for 61 new trailer music albums, released in the month of July? Unfortunately, I can't quite vouch for the summer vibes of these albums. Remember all those Halloween albums in the June post? Well, now in July we have a couple of Christmas albums! Did I miss the news? Seems like all the holidays are coming early this year. Or twice? Anyway, I did include a handful of romantic and light drama albums – a potential soundtrack for those late, warm summer nights when you might get cozy with someone. If you don't care for that though, you'll find here the usual mix of epic, dramatic, thrilling, as well as uplifting, inspiring and adventurous music. And if you're looking for something more unique, there's one cyberpunk album in this post, as well as some epic hip-hop tracks! Or how about action comedy? Okay, I think I've made the point by now – there's something for everyone among the more than 60 albums presented in this post. So, off you go and start exploring!
It was only back in March that I wrote, for the first time, about more than 60 new trailer music releases in a single post, but guess what, the May post already beats that with 66! Alright, I know you're not here to read about breaking records every other month though, so let's talk trailer music! In this post, you won't find any introductions of new trailer music companies or composers, just a whole lot of new music from the usual suspects. I'll kick it off with two quick highlights though. First, Amplitude released a new album, "Epic Showdown", after one and a half years of silence. Although only available to the industry, just like the rest of their catalog, hopefully this marks the return of Amplitude to releasing new albums regularly and, eventually, perhaps a public release too. Hi-Finesse, on the other hand, released one of their recent industry albums to the public. This is a very rare occasion, considering Hi-Finesse albums can't be listened to anywhere unless you're a client, and their only other albums available for streaming are two greatest hits compilations from 2016 and 2021. Alas, let's be grateful for this unexpected public release and hope for "Hits, Vol. 3" in 2026!
With 62 new trailer music releases, this post breaks the previous record of 60 from February 2024! That amounts to dozens of hours of new music for you to check out, but let me give you a few highlights before you dive in. Audiomachine's Studio Series catalog can no longer be found on the Audiomachine website after entering into a partnership with Audio Network to represent this catalog instead, as of last October. This post features some of the first Studio Series albums from after the transition. Next, Akela Sun has released the first album with new music since 2021. Although it's really just a 6-track EP, it's good to see that this trailer music project of the German-Australian composer Guido Negraszus is still alive!
