What is this band... (COB/Nightwish sounding)?

[selfabuse]

I recently got back to the UK from Brasil - I say recently, Ive actually been lying around o my fat arse for a month. Anyway, while I was in the Galeria Do Rock in Sao Paulo (surely the coolest building Ive ever seen) I heard this song playing in a shop with a female Tarja from Nightwish style operatic singer but there was also a male almost Alexi from COB singer too and some daft high speed COB style guitars as well. Needless to say, this was very cool! Anyway, I asked the bloke and he said the CD was Theatre of Tragedy. I dloaded a few TOT tracks the other day and it was nothing like this. Im talking operatic not goth female vox and really crunchy guitars.
so... anyone got any ideas?

Try TOT's first few albums, I think one was called Aegis, or the one before that was like you described

I'm thinking Therion....

Is Therion really sort of a mix between COB and Nightwish??? hmm... recommend some albums please

If the bloke told him it is Theatre Of Tragedy then it is probably NOT Therion.

Crowning Of Atlantis and Secret Of The Ruins... and maybe the guy was a moron... who knows... but Therion is very Nightwish like and has elements that could be related to COB
