New Trailer Music Releases: August 2024

New Releases: August 2024

8/31/2024

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!

I believe this was the first time a post contained 10 new releases from a single trailer music company, in this case Amadea Music Productions. With this amount of new music produced every month, I tend to only like one track every 10 or so of their albums, but this time I enjoyed several tracks across multiple albums. Kudos to Amadea Music Productions! I hope you have also found some new music for your playlists, whether from AMP or not! And if not, all the more reason to come back next month and check out the September releases. Until then, stay epic! Čau!
