Black Sabbath vs. Ghost – Metal Madness 2017, Round 2

In Round 2 of the Metal Madness tournament, evil lurks! It's Black Sabbath's haunting debut against the charming Satanic advocates in Ghost with Opus Eponymous!

Black Sabbath squared off against Mercyful Fate's Melissa in Round 1, handily coming away with a victory over the influential Danish group rounded out by iconic singer King Diamond. Sabbath took the lion's share of the voting total at nearly 90 percent.

Ghost have been dominating the modern era and it's not surprising this success was parlayed into Round 1 win as Opus Eponymous defeated Type O Negative's Slow, Deep and Hard. Winning may not come so easily in Round 2 going up against metal's first-ever album.
