New Releases: June 2022

To start off an epic summer, you'll want to check out the 34 new releases of trailer music from the month of June that I compiled below, including this year's first (and hopefully not last) album by Two Steps From Hell! Everyone knows TSFH, but let me introduce a couple of new names on my blog. Jack Trammell, who releases music on the Position Music label, is back with a new epic album after two years. After an even longer break – five years, to be precise – this month brought us a new album by Les Friction, a project of Evan Frankfort and Helmut Vonlichten (the latter of whom you may remember from E.S. Posthumus, formed by Helmut and his late brother Franz back in 2000). The music of Les Friction – infused with rock, pop and electronica, and featuring vocals (which Les Friction refer to as "rock opera") – is somewhat different from the albums I typically mention in my posts, but epic nonetheless! Enjoy!
