for those of you who are interested...
over 100 applicants, I made the top 5, but they decided on someone with a more "clean" tone, more operatic (I have had opera training, but years of singing hard rock puts an "edge" on the voice that detracts from the purity).
Got a personal email from Christofer Johnsson, pretty cool.

There were 5 singers among the applications that we thought had a
serious chance of being able to fill the position as a live soprano
in Therion and I'd like to send you people a personal reply.
Your voice is very impressive in the upper range, if I'd need someone
to perform some coloratura notes from hell, I'd know who to call. =)
Apart from that you do have a good voice, but it doesn't sound as
"clean" (in lack of a better word) as a traditional opera voice.
Thank you for sending us your application and good luck with your
singing in the future.

Thanks for all of you who were pulling for me. I still have an audition for Elis floating around out there, maybe somethng will come of that. If not, I'll be looking for players to start my own new original band in the symphonic/progressive/metal genre. Think Leaves' Eyes meets Porcupine Tree with a little Lacuna Coil thrown in.
