This may be old news but... the Black Mages!

Metal arrangements of Final Fantasy battle music... written by Nobuo Uematsu himself for this type of playing, and performed by some amazing japanese musicians, live, who call themselves The Black Mages.
You can DL the stuff, and there's also a link to the Amazon.com page where you can buy the CD for a pretty good price
I've heard the name several times before, but I've never cared to
check it out thinking it would suck.
But now I did and it's incredibly cool.
They sound pretty good. I never heard about them before though.
not to be confused with the Minibosses.
This is freaking cool.
I just listened to Force Your Way, that was done well. Same thing goes for Dancing Mad and J-E-N-O-V-A.
I love their remake of the FFVI battle music.
I was expecting to be horrified by these arrangements, but they're actually quite good.
I'm impressed.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
These are good. The keyboardist sounds a little like Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater.
Haha! I already knew about this and have some of the songs nyah!
....*nerds around some more*
Signature by rubah. I think.
