Original Japanese domestic pressing of Stars Rain Down by Swedish progressive rock and symphonic metal composer Erik Norlander.

Official Japan edition released by Marquee Inc. (Avalon label), licensed from Think Tank Media. Includes original OBI strip, booklet, Japanese insert, and all original Japanese printed materials.

Recorded live in Europe between 2001 and 2003, Stars Rain Down captures Erik Norlander’s powerful symphonic progressive rock project in its full cinematic scope. Blending classic progressive rock, symphonic arrangements, and heavy rock dynamics, the album showcases Norlander’s signature keyboard-driven sound and grand compositions.

Erik Norlander is best known as the founder of Rocket Scientists, longtime collaborator of Lana Lane, and a key figure in modern progressive rock. His work bridges classic prog influences such as Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Genesis with modern symphonic metal and progressive rock production.
