Heretics Triumph: Composers of 'Intergalactic' Crowned with Globe

Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed 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 music featured in the game. Known for their long-standing collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their award-winning scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo's experience extends to the gaming world. Reznor previously composed the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a sports drama with a love triangle at its core, Ross described the score as "never…a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Reznor and Ross's Versatility Shines

While their Nine Inch Nails roots might suggest a niche style, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable versatility. From the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul, their ability to adapt their style to diverse projects is undeniable. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their choice as composers seems particularly fitting.

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