Die Ewigen Steine is the first full-length album from the pioneers of German pagan metal, Menhir. It follows the release of Buchonia, their first EP earlier the same year. The record features 8 songs, clocking in at about 40 minutes. It is a solid pagan metal album, and a huge contrast to their EP Buchonia.

First of all, Die Ewigen Steine means "The Eternal Rock" in German, and as you might have guessed, all the lyrics are sung in German. It is clear that Menhir has changed it's style radically from their first release, introducing harsh vocals and aggressive riffs to their songs. The main concept, however, remains the same : epic pagan metal with a lot of atmosphere. And Die Ewigen Steine clearly shows a lot of epic atmosphere.

There were days when such music was revived, festivals was revived, I miss Prom Those were days
Decent band, album, there are good bands what came in mid 90's in so called pagan genre, they were more as bands, but true believers. Today such genre, less bands can puty out good things. I like this is MBM, its melodic, its german, closer to home and things we understand.
