Pyrotechnics is a field of study often thought synonymous with the manufacture of fireworks, but more accurately has a wider scope that includes items for military and industrial uses. Items such as safety matches, oxygen candles, explosive bolts and fasteners, and the automobile safety airbag all fall under the purview of pyrotechnics.
The use of explosions, flashes, smoke, or flames on-stage is known as Proximate Pyrotechnics.
Many musical groups will use pyrotechnics to enhance the quality of their live shows. The band Rammstein uses such large variety of pyrotechnics, from flaming costumes to face-mounted flamethrowers, that their fame is based largely on their use.
