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.

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!
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.
October was another generous month, so here is yet another post introducing 43 new trailer music releases! I present, for the first time, music by Empire of Excellence, a young BMG Production Music label created in 2021. Having grown its catalog to 17 albums since its recent inception, it is a very productive label, and here you'll find the two most recent releases. On the other hand, the epic rock band Globus was founded back in 2006 by Yoav Goren (best known as the co-founder of Immediate Music, one of the earliest trailer music companies), yet they just released their third studio album, Cinematica, no less than 11 years after their previous release. Finally, October also brought us a new release, after a two-year break, from Boost Music's label Playground Hollywood, founded by Starr Parodi and Jeff Eden Fair a decade and a half ago. Go on and check out these newcomers to my trailer music blog (though not necessarily newcomers to the cinematic music scene), as well as fresh music from the regulars!
I discovered 39 new albums and EPs in May that may be of interest to trailer music fans. From this month onward, I will challenge myself to include in each post at least one new release by a trailer/production music company, library, or composer that I have never written about before. This will encourage me to broaden my horizons and keep exploring even more sources of cinematic music which, in turn, I will share with you!
Okay, so, what you will find in this post is not one but three May releases by Lovely Music, a label under Harmony Music Libraries founded in 2015 by Dan Graham, the creator of Gothic Storm. According to their website, "Lovely Music makes uplifting, high-end music for TV and film featuring world-class performers and highly respected composers." Make sure to check them out! 
With the year coming to an end and the holiday season in full swing, 26 new trailer music releases is all that I found this month, folks. Anyway, with family visiting and all, it was a welcome respite, as I certainly didn't have time to listen to a ton of new music. I hope you'll still enjoy the selection below to kick off your new year to an epic soundtrack!
September means kids go back to school and, I suppose, composers go back to work because I have 46 new albums for you that were released this month! That's the most productive month so far this year, so waste no more time and start listening!
Having discovered 37 new trailer music albums in August, it seems like the summer production rate continues to be a tad lower. The music comes from 27 different trailer/production music companies, including one release from a newcomer to the trailer music scene, Triple Colossal X Music. Have fun exploring!
Here are another 37 trailer music albums to keep the summer going - going epic and thrilling, perhaps with a dash of blues, neofolk or rocktronica! And they are presented in a brand new style, hopefully giving the post a more polished look. Enjoy!
