Intergalactic Composers Triumph with Golden Globe Victory

Nine Inch Nails' 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: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside snippets of licensed music included in the game.

Reznor and Ross are renowned for their extensive collaboration, spanning decades and encompassing Nine Inch Nails (which Reznor founded in 1988), and acclaimed film scores for directors such as David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their previous awards include an Academy Award for Best Original Score for both The Social Network and Soul, along with multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also previously contributed the soundtrack for the 1996 game Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for their work on the romantic sports drama Challengers, Ross commented on behalf of the pair, stating that the score, while unconventional, felt undeniably right. The contemporary, electronic soundtrack complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack promises to be a standout.

Golden Globe Win Shines Spotlight on Intergalactic

The unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with the worlds of contemporary gaming and film has proven remarkably successful. Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility, crafting haunting scores like The Social Network's, ethereal soundscapes for Soul, and now, the mysterious soundscape for Naughty Dog's space-faring adventure. Given online hints suggesting Intergalactic's horror elements, their involvement seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies anticipation for Intergalactic, which may represent a significant departure for Naughty Dog. With an impeccable track record, fans can confidently anticipate a truly exceptional auditory experience accompanying the game, regardless of its final form.
