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!
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!
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!
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!
This September post continues the streak of 40+ new trailer music releases per month, so you'll again have a bunch of music to explore! Besides the usual menu of epic action and adventure with dramatic thriller and investigative drama, among the 43 albums below you'll also find some Nordic neofolk and world music influences, as well as an album or two with cinematic rocktronica and classical crossover music. The primary representative of the latter two genres is the fifth album of Tatsuya Oe's award-winning Dark Model project of orchestral-electronic music, which debuted with its eponymous album back in 2014. I also report a new release by The Hit House for the first time, although this company has been around since 2005, so you could certainly call them a veteran on the production music scene. Alas, there are only 24 hours in a day, and a man has got to work, eat and sleep, so I suppose there will always be trailer music companies out there that I only discover a decade or two later. Good for you that you have someone discovering epic music for you! ;)
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!
In this March post, I bring you 33 new trailer music albums. I know, that's a drop from the January and February numbers, perhaps because of spring break travels. Moreover, a half of them were released for industry only, at least for now. I expect at least a few of them to become available on streaming services sooner or later, and I will make sure to update the post with links accordingly. In the meantime, you can still preview these albums in their full length on the licensing websites linked throughout the post!
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!
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!
