Golden Globes:

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 repertoire: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their award-winning composition for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers further solidifies their reputation as exceptionally versatile composers. A recent trailer for Intergalactic showcased a preview of their work, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game.

Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed film scores for directors like David Fincher and Pete Docter, Reznor and Ross have a history of critical and commercial success. Their previous achievements include an Academy Award for Best Original Score (for The Social Network and Soul), multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's individual contributions to video game soundtracks include the music for 1996's Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a romantic sports drama, Ross described the 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 edgy atmosphere. Given their current creative momentum, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout achievement in video game music.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable adaptability. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic score for Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their selection as composers 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 an exceptional soundscape, regardless of the game's final form.
