Welcome to the Oceansouls of America (OSA) site! If this is your first visit here, OSA is the North American fan club of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Here you will find all things related to the band, especially points of interest to fans in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. You can now stay even more in touch with the OSA site through our brand-new Facebook and Twitter pages, or watch some of our favorite videos through our Official YouTube Channel! Hover your mouse over the "OSA Community" option on the menu to see all the various ways to keep up-to-date with OSA!
2012 is the year of Imaginaerum! That is not only the name of the brand-new Nightwish album (which entered the Billboard charts at #27 in the U.S. and #13 in Canada at the beginning of this year!), but also the name of a feature film that will accompany the "music fantasy" concept of the album. The film (of which filming began last September on location in Montreal, Canada) is slated to be huge, getting notice already in places such as the Cannes Film Festival and Variety magazine. You can get your first glimpse of the movie here by watching the Imaginaerum movie trailer through the video player above, or visit the newly-unveiled official Imaginaerum website!
Nightwish returns to North America in the fall! If you missed out on their shows in January, it looks like they are more than making up for it with a full tour throughout the U.S. and Canada! Dates have been announced, which you can find in The Forever Moments section. Tickets are onsale now!
In the meantime, you can look at pictures from the filming of the movie, watch video of the making of the album/film, read our interview with Tuomas, and keep up on all other Imaginaerum-related news. Now that the album is here and the tour has begun, the movie is just around the corner! Keep checking back here for the latest updates as the world of Imaginaerum unfolds!
The clock has ticked down on the long-awaited interview that OSA conducted in Los Angeles; Tuomas sits down with us just hours before the official start of the tour to talk about the shows in L.A., the rest of the tour, and takes your fan-submitted questions. Did your question get an answer?
As full as the band's schedule has been, that has not kept some of them from sending some kind words and deeds to the OSA as of late. Go to our Spilled Cup of Oceansoul section to read a lovely message from Anette! Also, Tuomas took some time to talk to the OSA before the show in Los Angeles and gave his thanks to all the OSAers for their support.
Our site is frequently updated. We have many different features here; not only do we keep up on current Nightwish events, we also pay homage to the band's storied past, answer all your questions about Nightwish, and share our favorite Nightwish memories, including those of our dearly departed Oceansouls: one of them an original American Oceansoul; and the other, one of the founding members of OSA. Click directly on the "OSA Community" icon in the menu and get to know your fellow Nightwish fans!
If you would like to be part of the OSA crew, whether it is donating content to our website or just meeting up with fellow Nightwish fans, send your inquiries in the Contact OSA section, or drop by our message board and post a message (be sure to sign up to Ultimate Metal to get into the forum)! We have also added a chat room so that you can discuss the new album and tour with other fans during our weekly Friday night chats (starting at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific)! You can also follow us on our brand-new Facebook and Twitter pages, or take a look at some of our favorite Nightwish videos on our brand-new YouTube channel!

Once again, thanks for visiting the OSA site...take a look around!
