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.

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.
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.
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!
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!
Welcome to the first post of 2023! It sure looks like trailer music companies had delayed much of their music publication in December until after New Year, as I found 51 new trailer music releases this January! This is by far the most I have ever reported in a single post, and it took me quite a bit of time to go through all of them (and many other not-quite-trailer-music albums that didn't make it into this post) and to write up this post. Despite the greater-than-ever number of releases, I only have one new introduction to my blog this time. Olexandr Ignatov, a Ukrainian pianist and composer, released Motherland, an album dedicated to his home country in the light of the events of the past 12 months, and the first album with epic music since his two 2018 releases, Piano Scenes and Forgotten Reality. And, although not entirely new to my blog, let me also highlight Q-Factory, Soundcritters, and Tybercore this month, all of whom had not released any new music since early 2021, when I was just starting to write this trailer music news blog. Okay, I won't take any more of your time, as you have more than 50 albums to explore! Have fun!
Ready for a fresh batch of trailer music? Although we are slowly approaching the end of the year, with 42 new releases, November shows no sign of music production slowing down. In fact, this month you will even see 4 first mentions on my blog! First off, one of the very first trailer music companies I ever listened to, Future World Music (founded by Armen Hambar back in 2004), finally released a new album after two years. A much younger trailer music company that I only recently discovered is Jolt Trailer Music, started in 2018 and distributed by BMG Production Music. The next introduction is Gabriel Brosteanu, who just had a sequel to his 2019 album Supernova released by Position Music. And finally, I came across a new release by PP Music, a once very productive trailer music company with only a handful of albums from the last decade though, and this latest one came after a three-year break. I wish you a wonderful voyage through the sea of epic music that lies ahead!
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!
To start off an epic summer, you'll want to check out the 34 new releases of trailer music from the month of June that I compiled below, including this year's first (and hopefully not last) album by Two Steps From Hell! Everyone knows TSFH, but let me introduce a couple of new names on my blog. Jack Trammell, who releases music on the Position Music label, is back with a new epic album after two years. After an even longer break – five years, to be precise – this month brought us a new album by Les Friction, a project of Evan Frankfort and Helmut Vonlichten (the latter of whom you may remember from E.S. Posthumus, formed by Helmut and his late brother Franz back in 2000). The music of Les Friction – infused with rock, pop and electronica, and featuring vocals (which Les Friction refer to as "rock opera") – is somewhat different from the albums I typically mention in my posts, but epic nonetheless! Enjoy!
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 spring in full swing, trailer music is back in bloom and I have 38 new albums for you to check out, coming in a wide variety of genres ranging from the usual epic and hybrid orchestral music to synthwave and rocktronica. I hope you find something among them to quench your thirst for cinematic music!
Being the shortest month of the year, February certainly exceeded my expectations with the 39 new albums I discovered over its course. You'll find the usual mix of genres among them, as well as a few new names that I never wrote about in a previous post: Sybrid, World Beyond, and a solo album by Or Chausha, whom you might know as a composer for several different trailer music companies. Without further ado, here is the music you've been waiting for!
