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 winter is over in the northern hemisphere, and with it the first quarter of the year too. Time flies. But that's a good thing because it means another news post is here, packed with 49 new trailer music albums released in the month of March! 37 out of them can already be streamed on most platforms, with a few more albums possibly becoming available over the next few weeks or months. The rest can be listened to on the respective trailer/production music companies' websites, or those of their distributors, with links included in the post as usual. Perhaps somewhat unexpectedly, Songs To Your Eyes is tied with Amadea Music Productions for the highest number of new non-sound-design trailer music releases, with both having six albums featured in this post. Well, since I have no blog newcomer introductions to make this month, let's just dive right in, shall we?
The February batch of trailer music is here! You'll find 47 new albums in this post, with the usual mixture across the whole spectrum of genres from epic/hybrid action, drama and adventure to more toned-down, but definitely still cinematic, genres including investigative, mystery and reflective drama. One genre that I noticed to be more prevalent than usual in this post though is epic hip-hop, both instrumental and featuring vocals. And one of these albums is actually by a debutante at Trailer Music Hub – Fearless Motivation.
Happy 2026 from Trailer Music Hub! Wishing you all a prosperous year, especially in terms of trailer music! The first news post of the year features 51 new trailer music releases. Curiously, that was the case with 3 out of the last 4 January posts. As I mentioned a few months ago, I started being more picky about which albums I include in these monthly posts, so as to keep the amount of work more manageable and stop falling behind with the posts. I'm planning to stick with this strategy in 2026, so gone are the days of posts with 60+ new albums, but you can expect roughly 40-50 releases every month. You can always find more new music by browsing the catalog. I hope that sufficiently satiates your trailer music appetite throughout this year!
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.
Unlike previous years, it seems like composers are hard at work this summer! There is typically a sharp drop in the number of new trailer music releases I find in the summer months, but not this year. After the 61 albums in the July post, I'm bringing you another 59 new releases in this one! Honestly, even I didn't have time to take vacation this summer, but that won't necessarily be the case for the rest of the year. Anyway, vacations are all well and good, but let's talk music! So, what's the August news, you ask? Well, J.T. Peterson is back after two years with his fourth solo album. It's a beautiful one-hour cinematic journey that you definitely don't want to miss! And, in case you were wondering what's been up with Liquid Cinema lately, well, it seems like they switched focus to their Trailer Toolkit series and other sound design albums over the past couple of years, and they now only release more easy-listening trailer albums here and there. But you're in luck because they just released one such album after a year! So, ready to check it all out below?
Who's ready for 61 new trailer music albums, released in the month of July? Unfortunately, I can't quite vouch for the summer vibes of these albums. Remember all those Halloween albums in the June post? Well, now in July we have a couple of Christmas albums! Did I miss the news? Seems like all the holidays are coming early this year. Or twice? Anyway, I did include a handful of romantic and light drama albums – a potential soundtrack for those late, warm summer nights when you might get cozy with someone. If you don't care for that though, you'll find here the usual mix of epic, dramatic, thrilling, as well as uplifting, inspiring and adventurous music. And if you're looking for something more unique, there's one cyberpunk album in this post, as well as some epic hip-hop tracks! Or how about action comedy? Okay, I think I've made the point by now – there's something for everyone among the more than 60 albums presented in this post. So, off you go and start exploring!
The month of June followed in the footsteps of the earlier months of this year in terms of trailer music productivity. With 58 new albums, this post will keep you and your ears occupied for a while, I hope! Curiously, there were a surprising number of horror- and dark fantasy-themed albums released in June... is Halloween happening early this year? Oh, and that's not the only peculiarity in this post. Amadea Music Productions had, for a very long time, been the undisputed leader (at least among the trailer music companies that I cover here at Trailer Music Hub) in the number of new non-sound-design trailer music releases month after month. Not in June though! Audiomachine took the crown with 7 new albums! Mainly thanks to a bunch of new releases in their Studio Series, but still... Finally, a quick shout-out to Inon Zur and Jon Adamich, both of whom released their first solo trailer music album in 3 years. Good to see you back!
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!
With 62 new trailer music releases, this post breaks the previous record of 60 from February 2024! That amounts to dozens of hours of new music for you to check out, but let me give you a few highlights before you dive in. Audiomachine's Studio Series catalog can no longer be found on the Audiomachine website after entering into a partnership with Audio Network to represent this catalog instead, as of last October. This post features some of the first Studio Series albums from after the transition. Next, Akela Sun has released the first album with new music since 2021. Although it's really just a 6-track EP, it's good to see that this trailer music project of the German-Australian composer Guido Negraszus is still alive!
Year after year, February doesn't fail to deliver an amount of new trailer music on par with the full-length months. Moreover, the collection of 53 albums in this post features a great variety of genres, including epic blues, cinematic americana and medieval fantasy, as well as some borderline cinematic genres that only occasionally make an appearance in these blog posts, such as symphonic/folk metal and synthwave, and even a few albums with strong world music influence. Oh, and in case you were missing some new blood on this blog lately, you're right, I haven't introduced any new composers or trailer music companies in a couple of months, so I'm going to make up for that by introducing two in this post!
The last month of 2024 saw a surprising bounty of new releases, considering December is the winter holiday month. Well, I'm not complaining to have been able to listen to 47 new trailer music albums, I just hope folks from the production music industry got to take some time off and spend it with their families! Speaking of holidays, don't miss Thomas Bergersen's "A Christmas Carol". Besides that, the December selection offers just one magical fantasy album and a couple of epic fantasy ones. Honestly, I feel like some of the earlier months (including July!) had more to offer in terms of holiday atmosphere. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the final batch of trailer music releases from 2024!
Alright, here comes the October deluge of trailer music – 59 new releases in total! Get ready for countless hours of epic, thrilling and inspiring music, as well as the occasional epic pop or cinematic americana album. Oh, and as you could expect in the month of Halloween, there is in increased proportion of mystery and horror releases! But most importantly, let me introduce a couple of newcomers to the blog.
With the summer over, we're back to over 50 new trailer music releases this month, 51 to be precise. The month of September brought us the first non-sound-design release from Liquid Cinema this year, and the first cinematic release from Noise Refinery in two years. Among the rest of the albums, you'll find some rather unusual genres, such as cinematic funk, as well as horror renditions of Christmas classics. But before you scroll down searching for these, let me quickly introduce Montage Music, as this is the first time I'm writing about this boutique trailer music company. Although they specialize mostly in sound design, a few of their albums are actually suited for listening, with the latest EP also being the case. Alright, go on now and explore September's goodies!
The summer continues with 47 new trailer music releases from the month of August. Besides the usual genres, you can look forward to discovering some albums incorporating cinematic americana, neofolk, neoclassical dark wave, and a couple of epic hip-hop albums as well. This time around, I would like to introduce Kerry Muzzey, an American composer who has written music for movies, TV shows, documentaries and even a ballet. In addition to that, he has released several contemporary classical and trailer music albums over the past two decades, including a series of "Trailer Music" albums debuted in 2007 and with the fourth and the latest installment released in 2019. His most recent album – the second volume of the "Docu" series, released in August – is a compilation of tracks that ended up not making it into any visual media, but I would say the music is no less worth a listen. Anyway, check out for yourself!
