Heretic Prophet's Intergalactic Sounds Captivates Audiences, Wins 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 tracks featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and critically 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 experience in video game soundtracks extends back to 1996's Quake and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, Ross described the score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one," highlighting its contemporary electronic style that perfectly complements the film's themes. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross: A Versatile Duo

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. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. Their involvement with Intergalactic, a game hinted to explore horror elements, makes their musical choices particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can anticipate a truly exceptional soundtrack, regardless of the game's final form.
