Last month we saw some phenomenal releases throughout the world, with the likes of Animal Collective, Wolfmother, After The Burial and Simple Plan coming out with albums that will be remembered for quite some time. The momentum continues this month as March promises to be power-packed in terms of new album releases. So, let us take a look at the albums to watch out for this month.
Incarnate by Killswitch Engage
American metalcore/heavy metal band, Killswitch Engage, have always been explosive with their songs. Be it with their self-titled debut or their 2006 release, "As Daylight Dies," the band has been consistent in giving us a heavy metal sound that is both innovative and charged at the same time. "Incarnate" will be an out-and-out metalcore album with influences of classic metal and 80s heavy metal.

Us And The Night by 3 Doors Down

Freaks of Nurture by Holy Wave
Texas-based psychedelic rock band, Holy Wave, might just be the satisfaction you need for the audiophile in you. Their spacey textures and shoegaze-style guitar layers are something to watch out for.

Full Circle by Haelos
London-based electronic/dark ambient/trip-hop trio, Haelos, created quite a buzz for their upcoming debut LP, "Full Circle." But this hype was not created by exceptional marketing, but rather a set of quality tracks like "Dust" and "Earth Not Above."

Jomsviking by Amon Armath
