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".

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.
Entering the vacation season hasn't changed anything about the rate of trailer music coming out this month, so there are 48 albums waiting for you to be explored below! After last month's four introductions of newcomers to my blog, I only have one for the month of July, despite the number of new releases in this post. The Spanish composer José Manuel González Núñez has been composing cinematic music under the name "Sounds of Neptune" for almost a decade now. After two solo piano albums earlier this year, he now releases a 3-track EP of reflective cinematic music that I encourage you to check out. And actually, there is a second introduction I should make too: The Lorne Balfe Collection, a brand new Audio Network trailer music library (or "collection", as Audio Network calls it). However, since this library didn't just release one debut album, but six of them, I thought I should write a separate short post on it. So stay tuned!
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!
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!
I discovered 39 new albums and EPs in May that may be of interest to trailer music fans. From this month onward, I will challenge myself to include in each post at least one new release by a trailer/production music company, library, or composer that I have never written about before. This will encourage me to broaden my horizons and keep exploring even more sources of cinematic music which, in turn, I will share with you!
Okay, so, what you will find in this post is not one but three May releases by Lovely Music, a label under Harmony Music Libraries founded in 2015 by Dan Graham, the creator of Gothic Storm. According to their website, "Lovely Music makes uplifting, high-end music for TV and film featuring world-class performers and highly respected composers." Make sure to check them out! 
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!
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!
This month I'm introducing 41 fresh trailer music albums and EPs, with the majority being the usual epic and hybrid orchestral action/drama/adventure, but you'll find a great deal of more subtle reflective, emotive, investigative and ambient drama too in the collection. Help yourself to the music of your choice below!
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!
Having discovered 37 new trailer music albums in August, it seems like the summer production rate continues to be a tad lower. The music comes from 27 different trailer/production music companies, including one release from a newcomer to the trailer music scene, Triple Colossal X Music. Have fun exploring!
With spring in full swing, the trailer music industry also produced a lot of new music this month! Below you'll find almost 40 new albums from 28 different libraries/labels/individual composers, some familiar from the previous posts, and others releasing their first album this year. Go ahead and listen to whatever catches your eye!
Here is the April trailer music update! I'm keeping the more structured format of posts for now, which allowed me to compile a summary of over 40 albums for you this month, across a wide range of genres from reflective drama, to fantasy adventure, to hybrid action. Check it out!
Here is a selection of recently released cinematic and trailer music albums that I got a chance to listen to throughout the month of January. Hope you find a few interesting tracks across these albums to add to your playlist!
