    The music of war was often psychological warfare. Some of the battles in india that I have read about describe the drums as so loud you cannot hear someone speaking next to you. They communicated in sign. It could be quite intimidating and during a siege it could stop you from sleeping.

      Scottish bagpipes were considered a weapon of war rather than a musical instrument for a good time of history.

        Honestly if they’re not being played by someone in the top 10%, I’d say they still are.

          They need the right context. I am unsure if it’s a sampled bagpipe, actual bagpipe or something that sounds like a bagpipe, but it sounds fucking awesome here.
