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 upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive list of achievements: a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. Their award-winning work was for 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 decades-long 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 individual contributions to video game soundtracks include the music for 1996's Quake and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe from 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 music complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross consistently demonstrate remarkable versatility. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic score for Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their musical choices seem particularly fitting.

This Golden Globe win further amplifies the anticipation surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
