The black mages are a brilliant symphonic rock band, the way they mix rock with the classical final fantasy songs, its unbelievable. I think the black mages are one of the best bands to come out of japan for a very long time. Just one thing that's bad they should not mess with a metal song, their version of other world was very bad

I wasn't sure about the 3rd album on first listen, but after listening to it a couple of times through I began to appreciate it more.

I love Distant Worlds, Darkness and Starlight, and Grand Cross.

Also.. Forgot to add. I love the speed on KURAYAMINOKUMO!!! It is immense!

But I also love Life -in memory of Keiten-. Which is a beautiful piece of piano even if it doesnt seem very Black Magey. The emotion behind the piece is felt.

Yeah i'm been listening to the darkness and starlight album too...i think its great! I dont like the singers of "darkness and starlight" though. Not my type.

I love listening to Assault of the Silver Dragons and Distant Worlds. They're AWESOME!

Maybe i'm a lion was the shit, so was their one-winged angel remake. Nobuo really outdid himself with this musical project. Though I admit it's mostly for the orchestra and less for the vocals.

I saw a video of the Black Mages on YouTube or something... they have WONDERFUL music, but they lack the WONDERFUL stage presence... They just kind of bob around... Energy = Lacking.

i.e. http://youtube.com/watch?v=fk_6B4XCmqA (This isn't the same video I remember from before... but it's an okay example...)

Well they're not exactly starting out as a band in their youth. You have to remember that.
But I felt the opposite, i thoguht they're performances were great. The lighting is a bit bizzare, but I can realy see, when the camera zoomed on the band members, a sense of real love for the music.

I suggest you search for the Skies Above live, with Mr. Goo in it. That performance is pretty amazing. Also look for Blue Blast - Winning the Rainbow or Vamo' Alla Flamenco to see how much emotion they realy put into their instruments.

In fact the Black Mages are one of the main bands I realy want to see live at the moment.

About the singing in Darkness and Starlight... I like the opera the song was a remix of, and love what they did with it, but I agree in soem parts the singing was a bit overdone. I think it was the female vocalist that overstepped it a bit, as the two male singers were great, and the bit when the band members themselves sing was fantastic!

I love the Black Mages. It's decent rock with a FF history. You can listen to it in public and no one knows it's "geeky" origins... it's just pure fucking awesome. I honestly didn't realize they released another set of songs in March though. I'm going to have to listen to their third set soon.

I love The Black Mages! I have their first two albums, and I'll buy the recent one as soon as I'm able to order it! The music translates so well, Nobuo is fantastic!
