Continuing a fruitful musical spring so far, the month of May brought a bounty of new trailer music releases, 56 of which are introduced in this post. With this many albums, the collection naturally spans most of the subgenres of trailer music, including half a dozen cinematic pop and hip-hop albums, in case you have a preference for vocals over your epic instrumentations. But before you go on eagerly exploring, let me quickly introduce a newcomer to Trailer Music Hub. The German composer Soundmopi, who debuted on the trailer music scene with his 2017 album "Rise and Fall", makes a comeback nearly a decade later with his second epic album "Fractured Horizon". So, don't miss that one, and enjoy all the other albums you decide to give a listen to!

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 the FIFA World Cup 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 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.
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!
It was only back in March that I wrote, for the first time, about more than 60 new trailer music releases in a single post, but guess what, the May post already beats that with 66! Alright, I know you're not here to read about breaking records every other month though, so let's talk trailer music! In this post, you won't find any introductions of new trailer music companies or composers, just a whole lot of new music from the usual suspects. I'll kick it off with two quick highlights though. First, Amplitude released a new album, "Epic Showdown", after one and a half years of silence. Although only available to the industry, just like the rest of their catalog, hopefully this marks the return of Amplitude to releasing new albums regularly and, eventually, perhaps a public release too. Hi-Finesse, on the other hand, released one of their recent industry albums to the public. This is a very rare occasion, considering Hi-Finesse albums can't be listened to anywhere unless you're a client, and their only other albums available for streaming are two greatest hits compilations from 2016 and 2021. Alas, let's be grateful for this unexpected public release and hope for "Hits, Vol. 3" in 2026!
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!
With the summer vacation season in full swing and the usual slowdown in the production of new music this time of the year, I think having found 45 new trailer music releases from July can be deemed a success. The selection offers a broad range of genres, so whether you're looking for something epic or not so epic, I'm sure you'll find something to your taste. Hey, you'll even find a couple of epic Christmas music albums, if that's your thing to listen to in the middle of the summer. With that said, I'm sure you can't wait to go ahead and explore the new releases, but let me do the usual introduction of a first mention on Trailer Music Hub. This month it's Twelvetones Production Music, a Hungarian label with nearly 80 albums in their catalog. In 2023, it was merged into Schubert Music Library, which is where you can find and listen to Twelvetones' entire catalog. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of their music is available for streaming, but I'll keep an eye on any future public releases and report them. Enjoy the new music!
