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.
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".
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!
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.
Welcome to the first trailer music news post of 2024! Curiously, just like last year's January post, this one also brings you 51 new releases, which I think is a fantastic start to a new year of cinematic music! Amadea Music Productions had a particularly productive month, having released 9 albums, which must be the most I've ever seen a trailer music company put out in a single month. Another highlight of this month is Jo Blankenburg's Dune-inspired album Sirocco, somewhat bizarre, but mesmerizing and definitely epic, and a perfect listen to get yourself pumped for Dune: Part Two coming soon to theaters! And it seems like some trailer music companies started releasing albums of triumphant and anthemic music geared towards the Olympic Games taking place this summer.
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!
There are 44 new trailer music albums, released in October, waiting for you below to be explored! They come in all flavors, ranging from action to fantasy, and with October being the Halloween month, there is a noticeable increase in horror music releases. But worry not, you'll also find cheerful Celtic and winter holiday-themed ones in the mix! Looking at the post cover, it actually represents the variety of genres remarkably well! As for new introductions, I have two this month. More than 5 years after his last release, the Portuguese composer BrunuhVille released Atlas, his 11th album (not counting compilation albums and EPs), featuring the amazing Julie Elven on vocals on one of the tracks. The album is a compilation of various singles BrunuhVille had released since 2018. Next, the UK-based Hungarian composer Thomas-Adam Habuda put out an album of both new and old, unreleased and experimental compositions. Featuring 27 tracks, Space Works will entertain you for a good hour and a half! Tom has composed music for Audiomachine in the past, among other trailer music companies, and Space Works is his 3rd solo album, with the first two released all the way back in 2011 and 2014. Now, I will finally let you go and explore the music. Enjoy!
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.
This April's post features 45 new releases, spanning the entire spectrum of trailer music genres, from epic/hybrid action, to inspiring/reflective/emotive drama, to fantasy adventure, with some albums offering a fusion of cinematic music with synthwave, Nordic neofolk or world music. This time around I only have Florian Bur to introduce, a Swiss pianist and composer, who previously also produced cinematic music under the pseudonym Tunes of Fantasy. He released his first couple of albums back in 2013, but his newest release, I'm a Dreamer, comes after a 4-and-a-half-year hiatus. Glad to see you back, Florian! That's it for the intro, have fun exploring new music!
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!
Ready for a fresh batch of trailer music? Although we are slowly approaching the end of the year, with 42 new releases, November shows no sign of music production slowing down. In fact, this month you will even see 4 first mentions on my blog! First off, one of the very first trailer music companies I ever listened to, Future World Music (founded by Armen Hambar back in 2004), finally released a new album after two years. A much younger trailer music company that I only recently discovered is Jolt Trailer Music, started in 2018 and distributed by BMG Production Music. The next introduction is Gabriel Brosteanu, who just had a sequel to his 2019 album Supernova released by Position Music. And finally, I came across a new release by PP Music, a once very productive trailer music company with only a handful of albums from the last decade though, and this latest one came after a three-year break. I wish you a wonderful voyage through the sea of epic music that lies ahead!
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!
To start off an epic summer, you'll want to check out the 34 new releases of trailer music from the month of June that I compiled below, including this year's first (and hopefully not last) album by Two Steps From Hell! Everyone knows TSFH, but let me introduce a couple of new names on my blog. Jack Trammell, who releases music on the Position Music label, is back with a new epic album after two years. After an even longer break – five years, to be precise – this month brought us a new album by Les Friction, a project of Evan Frankfort and Helmut Vonlichten (the latter of whom you may remember from E.S. Posthumus, formed by Helmut and his late brother Franz back in 2000). The music of Les Friction – infused with rock, pop and electronica, and featuring vocals (which Les Friction refer to as "rock opera") – is somewhat different from the albums I typically mention in my posts, but epic nonetheless! Enjoy!
