'''''Heaven Shall Burn... When We Are Gathered''''' is the fourth studio album by Swedish [[black metal]] band [[Marduk (band)|Marduk]]. It was recorded and mixed at [[The Abyss (recording studio)|The Abyss]] in January 1996 and released on July 1 that year by [[Osmose Productions]]. It was re-released in [[digipak]] format with bonus tracks on June 27, 2006. ''Heaven Shall Burn... When We Are Gathered'' is the first Marduk album to feature Legion, formerly of [[Ophthalamia]], on vocals and [[Peter Tägtgren]] as mixer. This album marked a shift in style for what [[Marduk (band)|Marduk]] are popularly known for: hyper-blast blast beats and furious drum work, sheer brutality over melody (compared to previous releases), and raw vocals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/heaven-shall-burnwhen-we-are-gathered-mw0000764960|title = Heaven Shall Burn...When We Are Gathered - Marduk &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits &#124; AllMusic|website = [[AllMusic]]}}</ref>

The music for "Glorification of the Black God" is an adaptation of [[Modest Mussorgsky]]'s "Night on Bald Mountain". The first guitar riff is from a score in [[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|the 1939 version of ''The Wizard of Oz'']]. Furthermore, the lyrics of the song are clearly inspired by "Bald Mountain's" basic theme (a witches' Sabbath on [[St. John's Night]]).{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}} The title of the album is a reference to the [[Bathory (band)|Bathory]] song "Dies Irae" from ''[[Blood Fire Death]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genius.com/Bathory-dies-irae-lyrics|title = Bathory – Dies Irae}}</ref> It has also inspired the name of German [[melodic death metal]]/[[metalcore]] band [[Heaven Shall Burn]].<ref name="decoymusic interview 2005">{{cite interview |interviewer=Mike Molnar |title=Heaven Shall Burn - Kazy - DecoyMusic.com |url=http://www.decoymusic.com/blog_posts/100 |access-date=February 2, 2015}}</ref>
