Intergalactic Composers Triumph in Golden Globes

Reznor and Ross's Golden Globe Win Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the musical minds behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive resume: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This award, earned for their work on Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, further elevates expectations for the Intergalactic soundtrack, a taste of which was showcased in the recent game trailer.

Known for their iconic work with Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed scores for films like The Social Network and Soul, Reznor and Ross boast an Academy Award, multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's previous experience scoring video games, including Quake and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, adds to the anticipation.

Accepting their Golden Globe from Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." This contemporary, club-influenced electronic score mirrors the film's edgy energy and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to become a landmark achievement in video game music.

Golden Globe Success Underscores Intergalactic's Potential

The unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock heritage with the worlds of contemporary gaming and film has yielded consistently impressive results. Reznor and Ross have masterfully adapted their style, creating haunting soundscapes for The Social Network, ethereal melodies for Soul, and now, a mysterious soundscape for Naughty Dog's space-faring horror-tinged adventure. The Golden Globe win only amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, which may represent a bold new direction for Naughty Dog.

With an impeccable track record, Reznor and Ross's contribution to Intergalactic promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game's reception.
