New Releases: December 2021

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!

And that's a wrap, both for this month's post and the year! I hope you had a good one, with plenty of victorious battles and epic memories, and just the right amount of suspense and drama. Stay strong and healthy throughout the rest of the pandemic, which will hopefully come to somewhat of an end in 2022. Keep coming for your monthly dose of epic and cinematic music because, as Two Steps From Hell puts it, "music makes you braver"! Čau, and happy 2022!
