Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Composers Snag Golden Globe

Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers behind the soundtrack for Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive list of achievements: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This award recognizes their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's prior experience in game soundtracks includes the music for 1996's Quake and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never…a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary electronic score complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative momentum, the Intergalactic soundtrack is highly anticipated as a potential all-time great.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock roots with contemporary game and film scores might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal melodies of Soul, and now the enigmatic score for Naughty Dog's space exploration title. With online hints suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given the composers' impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be a remarkable auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
