Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Composers Snag Golden Globe

Nine Inch Nails' 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: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of their score, alongside snippets of licensed music featured in the game. Reznor and Ross, renowned for their extensive collaboration on Nine Inch Nails and their acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), are no strangers to the world of video game soundtracks. 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 from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one," highlighting its contemporary, club-influenced electronic style that complements the film's themes. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to become a landmark achievement in video game music.

Golden Globe Win Shines a Spotlight on Intergalactic

The unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock heritage with the worlds of film and gaming has proven remarkably successful for Reznor and Ross. Their versatility is evident in their diverse scores: from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. This adaptability makes their involvement in Intergalactic, a game hinted to incorporate horror elements, particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win will undoubtedly heighten anticipation for Intergalactic, a potentially significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their spotless track record, fans can expect a truly exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game's content.
