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 repertoire: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their award-winning composition for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers underscores their versatility and further fuels excitement for the Intergalactic soundtrack. A recent trailer showcased a preview of their work, hinting at both original compositions and licensed tracks.
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 gaming world. Reznor previously contributed to the soundtrack of Quake (1996) and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
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," highlighting its contemporary, club-influenced electronic style that perfectly complements the film's themes. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Reznor and Ross's Evolving Sound
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film projects might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross consistently demonstrate remarkable adaptability. Their work spans the haunting atmosphere of The Social Network, the ethereal soundscapes of Soul, and now, the potentially ominous soundscape of Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. Online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic make their involvement even more fitting.
The Golden Globe win will undoubtedly amplify the buzz surrounding Intergalactic, a project that may represent a significant shift for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can anticipate a truly exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form.
