State of Mine’s Devil in Disguise EP starts with the buzzsaw guitar riffs and pounding drums of the blistering alt-metal rager “Curtain Call.” That sets a bruising tone; then “Stones” chugs with a devilish energy as vocalist Steven Jodway seethes like a gritty demon, while “Undertow” starts dramatic and clean but explodes into walls of distortion. A cover of Katy Perry’s “Rise” features soft, melancholy atmospheres that bolster and magnify its massive choruses.
