2012 is definitely getting off to a good start. It seems to be THE year of public releases. After the release of Divinus by City of the Fallen this week, and the announcement of public albums by Future World Music, Brand X Music (The Best of Brand X Music) and Audiomachine (Chronicles), here is one more to add to the list: Volume 3, by Anti-Hero, and composed by Dan Diaz.

Volume 3 was released last year to professionnals. It is now available to the public, in mp3 format, via iTunes and Amazon (visit our "store" for more information). It is Anti-Hero's second public release, after Volume 1.

Here are two preview tracks:

• "Razor's Edge"

• "The Time has Come"

Anti-Hero has decided to release a part of their catalogue to the public. What a good surprise! "Just in time for the holidays, our original first release, Volume 1, is available on iTunes! This is the first time any of our music has been made available for sale to the public!" Anti-Hero says on Facebook. For those who are allergic to iTunes, Volume 1 is also available on Amazon. Visit our "store" for more information. 

The Anti-Hero library is expanding! A sound design album has been added to the library that already features three volumes of trailer music.

Called Sound Design Elements 1, it is the first collection of interesting hits, sweeps, drones, rises, signature sounds, and more. It was composed by Dan Diaz. The album was announced via Facebook. "If you're a music supervisor, editor, or producer and haven't yet received a copy, please let us know and we'll get you one!" Anti-Hero says. 

Two trailer music companies have announced the releases of new albums:

• Groove Addicts/ Full Tilt, who has released Full Tilt: Convergence, the latest album of the Full Tilt series (which is formed, in chronological order, by: Full Tilt 1, 2 & 3, Full Tilt: Black, Full Tilt: Rising. All albums are composed by Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen).

Update: FB page updated with tracks from the album

(Note that Groove Addicts is now known under the name of GrooveWorx, although this hasn't been updated on their Facebook page yet. The change took place on  September 3rd, 2010 : "Groove Addicts becomes GrooveWorx. Until last week we were known as Groove Addicts. A jingle and production music company operating for the last 15 years in Los Angeles, CA. " )

• Anti-Hero, who has released Volume 2, the second album of the company, as you probably deduced from its title. A montage is available for listening to the public. The album has been composed by Dan Diaz, the owner of Anti-Hero.

Both announcements have been made via Facebook.

Happy New year all! for my first post of 2011 I bring you the release date for the upcoming Anti-hero volume 2. Composed by Dan Diaz releasing on january 13th the next album is set to bring us a more awesome hybrid action style tracks for motion picture and video game advertsing we look forward to hearing these tracks in trailers& tv spots through out 2011 and the comming years good luck Dan :)

Update 1:Dan has just updated the Anti-hero facebook page with more information on the style of the album This one takes the tone of the first and builds on it. It is a bit more diverse, including moody, cinematic rock like the first, some more driving hybrid action, a couple of more hopeful sounding cues, some sound design...all put together in a cohesive way so that everything feels like "Anti-Hero".

Anti-Hero, the trailer music company created by Dan Diaz, has posted the cover art and three preview tracks of the upcoming album Volume 2 on Facebook!

Dan has also just made a new website with music samples, news, credits, and more.
