'In Cosmic Winter' is Negativehate's fifth release. It marks a significant evolution in the maturity of this bands sonic character, whether via it's sweeping dynamic arcs or it's intelligently woven prose of space, time and sound.

"This latest effort entitled “In Cosmic Winter” is one release that certainly doesn’t disappoint. This is one band that brings to the table effective songwriting via a highly diversified musical delivery." "Negativehate has proven themselves with this latest release. With 4 albums underneath their belt were beyond that now. They are clearly an undiscovered Progressive Juggernaut around New York area. All 4 members are clearly capable songwriters, artists and musicians. I must admit Negativehate sucked me in like a powerful drug and refused to let go long after the CD was over. This usually indicates there is something special about the artist or band in question. Thus deserving praise, recognition and musical fame at the international level."

" From start to finish this CD from Negativehate delivers 8 amazing tracks and is a very suspenseful musical experience. It pushes hard and has aggressive Alternative Rock quality to it, and even dabbles in Hard Rock and Metal." The songwriting is impressive and digs a bit deeper than the next independent band. Within each one of these pieces Negativehate capture something special as they bare their soul and delivers what I would call pure musical mojo. It offers much in the way of passion and compelling-thought provoking lyrical content. The playing from all members is spot on and just makes the whole CD even more enjoyable. The vocal abilities and passion from Scandura/Stewart are to die for. As time goes by he will no doubt hear more from them. I wouldn't be surprised to their music on the Radio someday or even in a popular Video Game, Reality TV Show or headlining the Warp Tour.

"Right now after hearing their music and checking out a few of their live clips – they are what we’ve been waiting for musically. I don’t say stuff like that often. All in all a well rounded CD that has much to offer to many different listeners. Apparently there are still a few bands out there believe in melting your face, making your ears bleed and blow you out of your chair all at the same time" "Negativehate stands out from other Indie-Alt artists in a good way within this very saturated market. Their answer to mundane music is to deliver something unique and powerful with a breath of fresh air, a highly technical playing styles and a signature sound that refuses to be defined via 1 listen. The strong suit of Negativehate is there amazing amount of unpredictability and top tiered originality. "
- Roroy Richardson, Skope

"The style of the music is highly original and refuses to be pinned down the first listen. The vocals are impressive, compelling and push the envelope and imagination. The guitar playing is very melodic and dynamic and the musical flow and ebb is highly creative. The overall vocal style works extremely well with this confines of this progressive catalog. Rhythm section - lays down the low end groove thick as a brick. What I like most about the music is its sheer unpredictability note for note and song for song." "This latest release from Negativehate is a solid musical statement from start to finish. Its strength – the strong song for song consistency, progressive dynamics and that keeps coming at you. The music is progressive, unpredictable, heavy and original. Like a heavy weight fighter this CD packs a powerful punch, and goes the full 12 rounds with no sign of letting up."

"“In Cosmic Winter” is the fourth release from by New York 5 piece rock band “Negativehate” It was released in 2012 and has received critical acclaim my many music critics thus far. The band is making a name for itself around the East coast for it’s explosive live performances and amazing signature sound." "Negativehate have the power and songwriting prowess to be extremely dangerous. There’s also a unique quality to this catalog that breaks the mold when compared to the overly predictable, forgetful rock that’s been filling the airwaves lately. What am I trying to say – well let me start by saying there is nothing predictable and forgetful about Negativehate." "Equally as impressive is how marketable this band is as they have effectively found the voice for all frustrated Prog-Rock fans out there. " "All 8 tracks will genuinely rock your world, shake the tree and blow your mind unlike most music you hear on the radio these days"
- Drew Blackwell, Rock n' Roll View (Aug 2012)

"To be honest I can’t say enough about this bands overall signature sound. Negativehate represent a fresh new voice in modern-day Progressive Rock and present a strong message that’s mysterious, spontaneous and has no boundaries. Each piece is real, not so overly- corporate sounding and very deep and compelling in nature. Negativehate has a sound that favors Progressive Rock bands popular in the 90’s but touches on modern day Alternative Rock and even Ambient Metal with it’s modern-day feel. I’ve never heard a new band sound so fresh before. In other words this is Alternative Rock, Meets Melodic-Progressive-Hard Rock. Don’t think that’s possible – take a second and listen to a few of the track linked below. The latest self titled CD from Negativehate will blow your mind. In close This latest release “In Cosmic Winter” by Negativehate delivers the goods – in so many different and unique ways."

Indeed there’s reason why this band is becoming more and more popular each and every year. The music is not so commercially viable but has a fresh sound and a truly progressive vibe that holds the attentions span of the listener perfectly. In a nutshell this is The Deftones meet Fates Warning. The 8 song line-up appeals to many listeners with a wide variety of musical styles – but it one hell of a ride with a powerful voice for Rock n Rollers out there who have had enough of the musical status quo.
I would imagine in time we will hear more from this amazing band in the near future. No doubt Negativehate has carved a marketable niche for themselves within a cult fan-base thus far setting them up for marketable success over the years to come. I would not be surprised to hear them playing The Warp Tour many years to come. But for now I can honestly say this is one artist that clearly gives you a musical snapshot that is highly original, unique and dare I say dangerous.
