Here is the April dose of fresh trailer music! Although, with 51 albums, lagging somewhat behind the record-breaking month of March, it doesn't fail to deliver a wide variety of genres. Whether you're in a triumphant mood and celebrating, or, on the contrary, more of a melancholic mood and in need of some uplifting tunes, this post definitely has something for you. But most importantly, the month of April marks the return of J2 – the master of epic covers! It's been 4 years since his last trailer music release and 6 long years since the last entry in the Iconic Series, after having produced no less than 8 albums in this series just between 2014 and 2019 alone. The brand new 9th volume offers a fresh batch of trailerized remakes of a dozen oldies ranging from late 1960s to early 2000s, so everyone will probably identify a song from their childhood on this album. Let the belated Easter egg hunt begin!

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.
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.
With the year coming to an end and the holiday season in full swing, 26 new trailer music releases is all that I found this month, folks. Anyway, with family visiting and all, it was a welcome respite, as I certainly didn't have time to listen to a ton of new music. I hope you'll still enjoy the selection below to kick off your new year to an epic soundtrack!
Here are another 37 trailer music albums to keep the summer going - going epic and thrilling, perhaps with a dash of blues, neofolk or rocktronica! And they are presented in a brand new style, hopefully giving the post a more polished look. Enjoy!
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!
