At the start of Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War," the dynamics are marked as fortissimo, which means very loud. This creates a sense of power and aggression, fitting the war-like theme of the movement. The use of brass and percussion instruments further enhances the intensity of the music. The dynamic contrast between fortissimo and other dynamics throughout the piece helps to create a dramatic and dynamic listening experience.
Gustav Holst wrote "The Planets", his Opus 32, a seven-movementorchestral suite, between 1914 and 1916.
I can tell you for a fact that it's in B Flat Major
The planet suite has seven movements: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The first world war happened shortly after he worte the piece but I want to know what happened whilst he was writing it(the years before the war).
It seems to turn up a lot in trailers for action movies, as does "O fortuna" from Orff's Carmina Burana. I heard once that the music scoring is one of the last things that gets edited into a movie, so when the trailers come out there may not be any music written; also, since the trailer is a mash-up of bits from all over the movie, they couldn't use the actual score from all those different parts or the music would have no continuity. So they just substitute Holst's Mars or some other piece of exciting music instead.

Harsh, and scary - As mars in the God of war the instrumental gives a threatening effect

You may be thinking of Gustav Holst (if the individual pieces have names like "Mars, the Bringer of War" and "Neptune, the Mystic", then that's it).
The music comes from the end of Mars, Bringer of War form the Planets Orchestral Suite composed by Gustav Holst.
"Mars, the Bringer of War" is the first movement in Gustav Holst's orchestral suite, "The Planets." It is a powerful and aggressive piece of music that captures the idea of war and conflict through its driving rhythms and intense melodies. Holst drew inspiration from the Roman god of war, Mars, for this movement.

John Williams composed the Imperial March. The theme is based on 'Mars, the Bringer of War' by Gustav Holst and the funeral march from Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B minor.
Jupiter has not got life however mars does.
