I stumbled across this band recently. They're called "The Black Mages" (very cheesy I know) but they play rock/metal renditions of Final Fantasy battle music. Nobuo Uematsu (FF composer) himself plays keyboards in it actually. Theres two soundclips up at this site: http://www.playonline.com/uematsu/tbm/index.html
I'm buying the CD as soon as I can. Its for sale at www.animenation.com
