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!

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!
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!
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!
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!
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! ;)
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!
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!
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!
