Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Composers Snag Golden Globe

Nine Inch Nails Creators Win Golden Globe, Score Naughty Dog's Intergalactic

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the musical minds behind Nine Inch Nails and the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have won a Golden Globe Award. Their win for Best Original Score was for Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a blend of Reznor and Ross's original composition and licensed music, hinting at the game's soundtrack. This isn't their first foray into gaming; Reznor previously created the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The duo's extensive collaboration spans decades, including their work with Nine Inch Nails, and acclaimed film scores for directors like David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their accolades include an Academy Award for Best Original Score (for The Social Network and Soul), multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA.

Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a romantic sports drama, Ross described the score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary, electronic soundscape perfectly complements the film's edgy themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

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

While the creators of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock might seem an unexpected choice for game and film scores, Reznor and Ross consistently demonstrate musical versatility. From the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal melodies of Soul, their adaptability is evident. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

Their Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be exceptional, regardless of the final game's content.
