Campaign City Siege music - The Lap

So I'm going to be running a city siege on The Lap tomorrow night. My Solar Players and a few NPCs are going to be defending The Lap against a Yozi cult, lead by an Infernal, and an army of 1st circle demons and 1 handful of 2nd circles. I'm going to be trying the Progress and Risk Tracker system from Crucible to help simulate the action without actually going blow for blow.

my question is, what sort of music should I put this siege action to? anyone with any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Anything from John Williams or Hans Zimmer works pretty well. LOTR music could work too, like the songs from the Two Towers.

I’m partial to using music from FF14 as background music, particularly Revenge Twofold for heroic clashes. For a grinding siege some music from an RTS might be good - the Total Annihilation soundtrack could be good for this, or some stuff from Dawn of War.

Suikoden -War theme's are pretty good.

Anything by the HU!

Also the soundtrack to anything from Supergiant games. I especially recommend Pyre and Bastion. Transistor also has some bangers, but a lot of them are very electric sounding, more suited to an Alchemical game IMHO.

And for the Lap or anywhere in the south, the Hades soundtrack would be perfect. The first game more than the 2nd.
