Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Composers Snag Golden Globe

Nine Inch Nails Duo Wins Golden Globe, Scores Upcoming Naughty Dog Game

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the soundtrack for Naughty Dog's anticipated title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another prestigious award to their collection: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their win 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 other licensed music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the pair previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also has a history of composing for video games, having created the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Ross and Reznor accepted the Golden Globe award from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile. Ross described the score for Challengers as "never…a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one," highlighting its contemporary electronic style that complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their impressive track record, the Intergalactic soundtrack is highly anticipated and may very well become one of the best in gaming history.

Golden Globe Victory Shines Spotlight on Intergalactic

While their origins in Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock might seem unexpected for game and film scoring, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility, crafting diverse soundscapes ranging from the haunting atmosphere of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. With online speculation suggesting Intergalactic might incorporate horror elements, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

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