Award-Winning Composers Score Naughty Dog's Intergalactic

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 featured in the game. Known for their long-standing collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo are no strangers to creating immersive soundscapes. Reznor's previous video game contributions include the soundtrack for Quake (1996) and the main title theme 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." The contemporary electronic music perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Reznor and Ross's Versatile Talent

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film projects might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their musical versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting sounds of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now the mysterious atmosphere anticipated for Intergalactic. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies anticipation for Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can confidently expect a captivating and memorable soundtrack, regardless of the game's final form.
