It's time to vote in Round Four of Loudwire's March Madness: Decades of Destruction tournament! Just eight bands remains in the final matchups within each of the four divisions.

It'll be Black Sabbath Vs. Metallica and Pantera Vs. Slipknot with each band serving as the representative of a different decade.

Sabbath had the largest margin of victory, securing nearly 80 percent of the votes against Queen. The closest matchup from last round? That was between Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica, which was split 60/40.

The polls are back open and your votes will send the winners to the championship round!
