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!
The summer continues with 47 new trailer music releases from the month of August. Besides the usual genres, you can look forward to discovering some albums incorporating cinematic americana, neofolk, neoclassical dark wave, and a couple of epic hip-hop albums as well. This time around, I would like to introduce Kerry Muzzey, an American composer who has written music for movies, TV shows, documentaries and even a ballet. In addition to that, he has released several contemporary classical and trailer music albums over the past two decades, including a series of "Trailer Music" albums debuted in 2007 and with the fourth and the latest installment released in 2019. His most recent album – the second volume of the "Docu" series, released in August – is a compilation of tracks that ended up not making it into any visual media, but I would say the music is no less worth a listen. Anyway, check out for yourself!
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.
