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!

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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
Here are another 37 trailer music albums to keep the summer going - going epic and thrilling, perhaps with a dash of blues, neofolk or rocktronica! And they are presented in a brand new style, hopefully giving the post a more polished look. Enjoy!
Kick off the summer with 45 new trailer music releases! Whether you like action and adventure, or suspense and mystery, or emotive and inspiring music, there surely is something for everyone in this collection of fresh cinematic music. Now, go on and put some music on!
With spring in full swing, the trailer music industry also produced a lot of new music this month! Below you'll find almost 40 new albums from 28 different libraries/labels/individual composers, some familiar from the previous posts, and others releasing their first album this year. Go ahead and listen to whatever catches your eye!
Here is the April trailer music update! I'm keeping the more structured format of posts for now, which allowed me to compile a summary of over 40 albums for you this month, across a wide range of genres from reflective drama, to fantasy adventure, to hybrid action. Check it out!
