The Tennessee football team’s Black Sabbath intro from Saturday night’s matchup with South Carolina is going viral. The incredible light and fireworks show set to the sounds of “War Pigs” made Neyland Stadium feel more like a fiery hell than a playing field.

That intimidating entrance is quickly making the rounds on social media as fans and followers post their videos of the pregame routine.

The Vols prepped for a huge SEC matchup against the Gamecocks over the weekend, looking for redemption after last year’s 63-38 blowout in Columbia.

And payback, they’d get.

Tennessee dominated for the majority of the game, leaving with a 21-point win to improve to 4-1 on the season. The Vols took a two-touchdown advantage into the halftime break, never allowing the Gamecocks to get closer in the second half of play.

South Carolina was overmatched from the get-go, failing to consistently sustain drives or stop the Volunteer offense. The atmosphere in Neyland Stadium likely had something to do with that performance.

A sold-out crowd of nearly 102,000 fans was loud and proud cheering on the Vols, and the excitement got started before the opening kickoff.

Tennessee went “Dark Mode” for the night game matchup, wearing all black uniforms on the field. The athletic staff played into that theme with its in-game audio, playing songs like “Back in Black” during breaks.

Maybe the most electric moment came before the team made its way onto the field, though.

Fans have been posting a pregame light and fireworks show set to the sounds of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” The scenes are absolutely incredible.

There is no better adrenaline pumper than hearing Ozzy Osbourne’s voice blaring across the loudspeakers before those epic guitar and drum sounds kick in.

Others replied with videos of their own, adding to the ominous scenes in Knoxville.

Here’s another view of the pregame show.

Now, imagine running onto the field as an opponent to the screams of 100K+ revved up fans waiting to explode at the first sign of Tennessee success.

This game might’ve been over before it even started.
