Heaven Shall Burn... When We Are Gathered is the fourth studio album by Swedish black metal band Marduk. It was recorded and mixed at 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. Heaven Shall Burn... When We Are Gathered marked the shift in style for what Marduk are popularly known for, hyper-blast blast beats and furious drum work, sheer brutality (over melody than in previous releases), and much rawer vocals from third vocalist Legion.

[edit] Trivia

  • The German deathcore band Heaven Shall Burn named themselves after the title of this album.
  • The music for "Glorification of the Black God" is an adaptation of Modest Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain". Furthermore, the lyrics of the song are clearly inspired by "Bald Mountain's" basic theme (a witches' Sabbath on St. John's Night).
