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!
Welcome to the first post of 2025 and I hope you had a fantastic start to the new year! Historically, January has been one of the most productive months of the year in terms of trailer music releases, likely a consequence of clearing the holiday-induced backlog of unpublished music from December. And here we are, kicking off this year's news with 55 new albums! You'll find an abundance of epic music among them with inspiring and triumphant energy – just what we all need at the beginning of a new year! Don't miss Soundcritters' Far Beyond, coming out exactly two years after their previous release, as a prime example of that and with a little bit of a fantasy flavor. The Lorne Balfe Collection also grew for the first time since their debut in 2023 and that by no less than four thematically diverse albums, including gothic and cyberpunk music! Go check 'em all out and find some new favorite tracks!
As promised, here is a bonus July post introducing a new trailer music library created this very month: The Lorne Balfe Collection. It is available exclusively from Audio Network, a British production music company founded all the way back in 2001. As the name suggests, this library is a product of Audio Network's partnership with Lorne Balfe (and a team of his composers), the veteran Scottish composer who was once Hans Zimmer's protégé, and whom many of you will know from the scores for some of the earlier Assassin's Creed video games, as well as a couple of entries in the Call of Duty series, and then movies, such as 13 Hours (2016) and Ghost in the Shell (2017), or more recently, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) and the upcoming Gran Turismo (2023).
