01/21/2008: "New Black Mages Album Coming in March"

Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy rock band The Black Mages is coming out with their third album, The Black Mages III: Darkness and Starlight, on March 19th. The final track list is currently unknown, but at least one track—Final Fantasy VII's own "Opening - Bombing Mission"—has been confirmed via a sampling on the album's official website.

The album will retail in Japan for ¥2,800 (including tax) and is being published by Uematsu's own label, Dog Ear Records. If you've never heard The Black Mages before, their first two albums are among the many Final Fantasy selections available for download at the iTunes Music Store, and in CD format at several import specialists.
