We're into the Sweet 16 ladies and gentleman — straight-up, head-to-head, one-on-one matches:

In this corner, out of Florida, is Iced Earth.
Known for its galloping rhythms and its epic songwriting, it is probably the remaining band that most resembles the kings, Iron Maiden.
But thanks to a second-place showing in the round-robin, it has drawn the most iconic act in the tournament — the number one seed, out of Birmingham England, Black Sabbath.

Which act is your favourite?

Iced Earth is a fairly new addition to my musical world that I was introduced to courtesy of this forum. Most (not all) of what I've heard is very good. However, Black Sabbath is legendary and Iced Earth isn't. Simple as that. Sabbath gets my vote.
 
Iced Earth opened well but couldn't keep up.
Sabbath advances to the round of eight
