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 musical minds behind the score for Naughty Dog's anticipated title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive collection: a Golden Globe Award. The pair won Best Original Score for their work on Luca Guadagnino's Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a glimpse of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game.

Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed film scores for directors like David Fincher and Pete Docter, Reznor and Ross boast an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's previous video game contributions include the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting their Golden Globe from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack promises to be a standout.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock veterans with contemporary games and films might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross consistently demonstrate their versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. Now, they bring their talents to Naughty Dog's space-faring adventure. With online hints suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their score choice feels particularly apt.

This 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 auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form.
