The last month of 2024 saw a surprising bounty of new releases, considering December is the winter holiday month. Well, I'm not complaining to have been able to listen to 47 new trailer music albums, I just hope folks from the production music industry got to take some time off and spend it with their families! Speaking of holidays, don't miss Thomas Bergersen's "A Christmas Carol". Besides that, the December selection offers just one magical fantasy album and a couple of epic fantasy ones. Honestly, I feel like some of the earlier months (including July!) had more to offer in terms of holiday atmosphere. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the final batch of trailer music releases from 2024!

With the summer over, we're back to over 50 new trailer music releases this month, 51 to be precise. The month of September brought us the first non-sound-design release from Liquid Cinema this year, and the first cinematic release from Noise Refinery in two years. Among the rest of the albums, you'll find some rather unusual genres, such as cinematic funk, as well as horror renditions of Christmas classics. But before you scroll down searching for these, let me quickly introduce Montage Music, as this is the first time I'm writing about this boutique trailer music company. Although they specialize mostly in sound design, a few of their albums are actually suited for listening, with the latest EP also being the case. Alright, go on now and explore September's goodies!
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!
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.
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!
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!
This April's post features 45 new releases, spanning the entire spectrum of trailer music genres, from epic/hybrid action, to inspiring/reflective/emotive drama, to fantasy adventure, with some albums offering a fusion of cinematic music with synthwave, Nordic neofolk or world music. This time around I only have Florian Bur to introduce, a Swiss pianist and composer, who previously also produced cinematic music under the pseudonym Tunes of Fantasy. He released his first couple of albums back in 2013, but his newest release, I'm a Dreamer, comes after a 4-and-a-half-year hiatus. Glad to see you back, Florian! That's it for the intro, have fun exploring new music!
Get ready for 49 brand new trailer music albums from the month of March! This year so far has been incredibly productive on the trailer music front, so much so that I have a hard time keeping up with all the new music, and have only had little time to explore new labels and catalogs. I still have three new introductions to make! Giant Apes Music, a label published by Really Slow Motion since 2014, released the first public album – an almost 90-minute compilation of tracks from several of their previous industry albums. Similarly to RSM, Giant Apes Music albums unfortunately don't get released to the public, not even years after being released to the industry, so this is the best we can hope for, I suppose. Next, Scorched Score is one of those labels that only produces albums sporadically, and this time they released three albums at once (first new music since 2020). Scorched Score, established in 2011, is a label under the UK-based Deep East Music, which was acquired by BMG Production Music a few years ago. Finally, I found a new release from Tenth Dimension, a Sencit Music catalog with its first album dating back to 2009. Go ahead and immerse yourself in epic and cinematic music!
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!
