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 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!
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!
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.
With composers – and all the other music production folks – presumably getting back from vacation, we're back in the 40s this month (in terms of the new trailer music album count)! 41 new releases, to be precise. I won't be introducing anyone new today, but with the bonus introduction posts over the past couple of months, I hope I've earned a break of one or two months in this respect. :) Let me mention though that Non-Stop Premiere has released their first album (or rather an EP) since April 2021, so it's good to know that this library is not deprecated, despite its description on the Non-Stop Trailers website saying "legacy catalog". Sergey Cheremisinov also didn't release any new albums after 2021, which, with one album and three EPs, had been one of his most productive years.
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.
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!
Welcome to the first post of 2023! It sure looks like trailer music companies had delayed much of their music publication in December until after New Year, as I found 51 new trailer music releases this January! This is by far the most I have ever reported in a single post, and it took me quite a bit of time to go through all of them (and many other not-quite-trailer-music albums that didn't make it into this post) and to write up this post. Despite the greater-than-ever number of releases, I only have one new introduction to my blog this time. Olexandr Ignatov, a Ukrainian pianist and composer, released Motherland, an album dedicated to his home country in the light of the events of the past 12 months, and the first album with epic music since his two 2018 releases, Piano Scenes and Forgotten Reality. And, although not entirely new to my blog, let me also highlight Q-Factory, Soundcritters, and Tybercore this month, all of whom had not released any new music since early 2021, when I was just starting to write this trailer music news blog. Okay, I won't take any more of your time, as you have more than 50 albums to explore! Have fun!
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 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!
Whether at home or on vacation, you're probably here for a re-up of epic music. And I have plenty of it for you this month: 43 new albums! Among them you'll find a couple of new albums by Audio Attack, a production music company founded by Michael Maas in 2020, offering three separate catalogs titled Production Music, Trailer Series, and Epic Single Series. Another first mention on my blog is that of Neogarde, one of BMG's more recent trailer music labels introduced also in 2020. Finally, July saw the release of four albums by Inon Zur, a video game composer probably best known for his award-winning score for Dragon Age: Origins and its sequel, scores for multiple installments of the Syberia and Fallout video game series, as well as Crysis, among many others. But enough of introductions, let's listen to some music now!
