Mind Control unveils its self-titled EP at Great Slates Saturday.

This weekend local band Mind Control will celebrate the release of its six-song self-titled debut EP, which dishes up more of the band’s smooth vocals and metallic riffs.

Mind Control, now composed of Ryan Peters (drums) and members of the Czyz family — dad Bryan (guitar) and sisters Brianna (bass, vocals) and Becki (vocals), continues to straddle the fence between sounding like a ‘90s grunge band and an alternative-metal band.

The EP, which was recorded with producer Steven Wright (SR71, Jimmie’s Chicken Shack) at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, starts off with buzzy guitars and catchy riffs on “Take It Away.” The second track, “For Granted,” throws in more swirling metal riffs with what the band calls “blood rock” — or Peters’ aggressive attack on the drum kit. By the third track, “Shame,” Mind Control winds the tempo down a bit, sounding more like a murky version of Tool with female vocals. Similarly, on “Drowning” (one of the album’s standout tracks), the band begins by playing some Tool-influenced bass-slapping before leaping into a fast-paced, catchy chorus.

“Mind Games,” a song the band has been playing for several years, appears on the album in a more polished version, and it’s still one of the band’s most accessible and radio-friendly tracks.

In a world of grunting, screaming, ranting rock-metal vocalists, Mind Control has an advantage in Becki’s velvety sweet vocals. While its overall sound fits into the rock-metal genre, her sugary-yet-trenchant vocals make Mind Control sound unique. At first, Becki might seem less intimidating than metal band vocalists that scream, but her delivery is every bit as powerful in a refreshing way, especially when combined with Brianna’s backing vocals.

Mind Control performed at Great Slates Saturday night in Cambridge. Not Alone and Lennex will open, and showtime is 10 p.m.
