Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Composers Snag Golden Globe

Reznor and Ross's Golden Globe Win Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game 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 score, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo's involvement promises a high-quality soundtrack. Reznor's previous video game work includes the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe from Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Atticus Ross described the Challengers score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced music perfectly complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to become a standout in video game music history.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Triumph

While their origins in Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock might seem unexpected for game and film scoring, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. From the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal melodies of Soul, their ability to adapt their style to suit the project is undeniable. Given hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies anticipation for Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. With an impeccable track record, Reznor and Ross's contribution guarantees a captivating auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
