With the spring in full swing, I bring you an early-season crop of 50 trailer music albums released in April. There's a good variety of flavors, I mean genres, too, so I'm sure at least a handful of the 50 fruits will be to your liking! Definitely don't miss Resonance, Audiomachine's first direct-to-public release in a couple of years, not counting the recent public release of the 2024 album Equilibrium. It offers a mixture of epic choral covers of some famous songs, as well as originals, featuring the Angeles Chorale, and Merethe Soltvedt's vocals too in one song. Another album I wanted to highlight is Zenith by Really Slow Motion – another epic vocal release, but this one released to the industry only, at least for now. Featuring the amazing Alexa Ray on vocals, it certainly isn't a usual epic pop album, so check it out on the BMG Production Music website! Finally, if you're one of those eagerly awaiting FIFA to begin, you'll find a few epic sports-themed releases too in this post, so, hopefully, that will make the wait more bearable. Either way, enjoy the April selection!

The summer is over, kids are back in school, and composers are back at work – or wait, maybe they never took a vacation? Each of the summer months, I have been able to find around 60 new trailer music releases, which is really no less than the September's 61. Speaking of vacations, I spent a week and a half in Alaska and had a spectacular time, about as far away from civilization as it gets, but with plenty of epic trailer music playing as the soundtrack to the road trip through the epic landscapes. Definitely recommend visiting this wild state! Now, let's talk about music news though.
It was only back in March that I wrote, for the first time, about more than 60 new trailer music releases in a single post, but guess what, the May post already beats that with 66! Alright, I know you're not here to read about breaking records every other month though, so let's talk trailer music! In this post, you won't find any introductions of new trailer music companies or composers, just a whole lot of new music from the usual suspects. I'll kick it off with two quick highlights though. First, Amplitude released a new album, "Epic Showdown", after one and a half years of silence. Although only available to the industry, just like the rest of their catalog, hopefully this marks the return of Amplitude to releasing new albums regularly and, eventually, perhaps a public release too. Hi-Finesse, on the other hand, released one of their recent industry albums to the public. This is a very rare occasion, considering Hi-Finesse albums can't be listened to anywhere unless you're a client, and their only other albums available for streaming are two greatest hits compilations from 2016 and 2021. Alas, let's be grateful for this unexpected public release and hope for "Hits, Vol. 3" in 2026!
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!
