3/5 ·
1967/ 1976
This Ep is one of my favorite Power Metal albums or Eps that I have. But this Ep is not perfect. First because "Out In The Field" (Gary Moore) not have the same magic of the original due to the guitar sound (too distorted). Second because "Horrorscope" (that is previously unreleased) present a guitar riff that not conquest me and because this song is too modern (and glammy)and too long. Vice versa "Under Your Spell" is a great song, powerful, dynamic and classic (this song was previously published in "Jaws Of Death" album). Third...: The cover of "Breaker" by Accept. Typical Extreme Speed Metal song it is modeled from "Kill The King" (Rainbow). Good song, same magic of original song. The refrain is better in this version. Last... But not least...: "Kill The King" (Rainbow). Only live version of this song please me. With my great pleasure these version present double bass drums. So this is a new arrangement from live version (oh my God!!!)! Surprise: Ralf Scheepers is not Dio but extreme close to Dio and also Blackmore is here! In few words this is the best song of this "Horrorscope"!

In definitive: "Horrorscope" is a strange Ep. As Ep is excellent but in truth the song that not please me ruin my feeling with this Ep. That without "Kill The King" is only another Power Metal release.
