Alright, here comes the October deluge of trailer music – 59 new releases in total! Get ready for countless hours of epic, thrilling and inspiring music, as well as the occasional epic pop or cinematic americana album. Oh, and as you could expect in the month of Halloween, there is in increased proportion of mystery and horror releases! But most importantly, let me introduce a couple of newcomers to the blog.

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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
It doesn't come as a surprise that in December music production slows down drastically, thanks to the holiday season. I still managed to find 29 new trailer music albums released in this last month of 2022 though! Among them is one new release each from Iván Torrent and Mattia Turzo, neither of which is an entirely new name on my blog, as they compose music for various trailer music companies. Iván Torrent has previously composed music for Audiomachine and Really Slow Motion, among others, and Onyria is his third solo album that came out almost exactly 5 years after his previous solo release. Mattia Turzo, on the other hand, has released several solo albums under Tony Tobolt Records and contributed music to the catalogs of Colossal Trailer Music, Glory Oath + Blood, and several others, including Position Music which released his most recent solo album, Prateria. Enjoy this last collection of new trailer music from 2022!
This summer continues to be very productive, as far as trailer music is concerned, allowing me to write about another 42 new releases this month! August saw the release of four debut albums by History Tones, Extreme Music's new label oriented toward historical documentaries. Similar to its sister docudrama labels Earth Tones and Space Tones, the music for History Tones is produced by Hans Zimmer's Bleeding Fingers collective. In addition to that, J.T. Peterson released his second album this August, after his debut in 2019. This is also the first time I introduce an album by Mama Dance!, a South African production music company founded in the 1990s (with their catalog published under the name Afro Musique outside of South Africa). Finally, Non-Stop Producer Series is another veteran in production music, whose music I only started listening to recently and have thus a lot of catching up to do, nevertheless I introduce their most recent album in this post. I hope you have fun exploring new music, including the above newcomers to my blog!
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!
The holiday season is over and music is back to being produced at full throttle! After the rather meager album selection in December, hopefully the 43 new releases introduced in this January post will make up for it. Enjoy the first bunch of trailer music albums of 2022!
This month I'm introducing 41 fresh trailer music albums and EPs, with the majority being the usual epic and hybrid orchestral action/drama/adventure, but you'll find a great deal of more subtle reflective, emotive, investigative and ambient drama too in the collection. Help yourself to the music of your choice below!
