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

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the musical minds behind the upcoming Naughty Dog title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive resume: a Golden Globe Award. The duo received the prestigious award for Best Original Score for their work on Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.

This recent win further elevates the excitement surrounding the Intergalactic soundtrack. A glimpse of their composition, alongside licensed music, was showcased in the game's recently released trailer. Reznor and Ross, renowned for their long-standing collaboration in Nine Inch Nails and their critically 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 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 exceptional talent and track record, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout achievement.

Reznor and Ross's Versatility Shines Through

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with the worlds of gaming and film might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their remarkable adaptability. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic sounds promised for Naughty Dog's space exploration title. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross as composers seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win will undoubtedly amplify the anticipation for Intergalactic, a game that may represent a significant shift for Naughty Dog. Given Reznor and Ross's impeccable history of creating memorable and impactful soundtracks, fans can confidently expect an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the game's final narrative.
