RED32 – Cryogenic Dreams (2025)
Red32 has released Cryogenic Dreams, a concept-leaning record about sleep and a future affected by ecological collapse and off-world urgency.
The album combines hard rock, pop rock, prog metal, progressive rock, and ambient elements, with an emphasis on melodic hooks, reflective lyrics, and occasional moments of instrumental brilliance and inventive arrangements. My favorite songs appear in the middle of the album, in the most “proggy” section: “Face of Sorrow”; “After the disaster”; and “Before the Rain”
The current lineup features Steve Bonino (lyrics, bass, vocals), Tony Romero (synthesizer, spoken word), Eric Confer (guitars), Jimmy Keegan (drums), and Robeone (keyboards, synthesizers).
