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".

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!
It seems like it took a month for the effect of the vacation season to kick in. In August, I only discovered 35 new trailer music releases, which is quite a drop from the 45-50 you have gotten used to over the past several months. Despite that, I have one introduction to make! Frontier Trailer Music, based in Los Angeles, launched in early 2018, having released 8 albums that year alone. Published and distributed by 5 Alarm Music, their catalog is now 38 albums strong, with the newest addition from August itself, which is the first release of theirs that I write about on my blog. You can follow Frontier Trailer Music on Facebook, Instagram and X for updates on trailer placements and upcoming releases.
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!
44 more trailer music releases coming your way! A disproportionate number of these appear to be geared towards suspenseful and horror movies, which makes sense considering this was the Halloween month. So, switch off the lights, brace yourself, and put your headphones on!
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!
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!
