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.

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.
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!
With the spring in full swing, trailer music is back in bloom and I have 38 new albums for you to check out, coming in a wide variety of genres ranging from the usual epic and hybrid orchestral music to synthwave and rocktronica. I hope you find something among them to quench your thirst for cinematic music!
