Golden Globe Laurels Crown Intergalactic Composers

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 included in the game. Known for their iconic work 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 involvement promises a high-quality soundtrack. Reznor's previous experience scoring video games, including Quake (1996) and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, further solidifies their expertise in this realm.

Accepting the Golden Globe from presenters 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, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Reznor and Ross: A Versatile Duo

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary games and films might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their musical versatility. Their work spans from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win shines an even brighter spotlight on Reznor and Ross, further amplifying excitement for Intergalactic. This could represent a significant departure for Naughty Dog, and with the composers' impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack is almost guaranteed to be exceptional.
