Overlord By Vivid Pyrotechnics

100 Shots, 2 Minutes, Command of the Sky

Not content with bringing in some of the best new fanned and straight-firing barrages this season, Vivid Pyrotechnics have also introduced this little beauty, Overlord. Based on the VIV100CP-001, it’s a 100-shot, 30mm max bore, straight-firing compound that runs for a genuinely rare 2 minutes, with a 5/5 noise rating to match the name.

The bursts are huge, almost shell-like in scale, with glittering and crackling bouquets layered together to create a fabulous dual-layer effect that fills the sky rather than just dotting it. It’s the kind of visual density you don’t get from every compound at this price point, every burst earns its place in the sequence rather than padding out the run time.

Overlord saves its best for last too. The display closes on a stunning pulse-fired finale of crackling golden willows and red strobe, a genuinely commanding way to bring a two-minute sequence to a close. Watch the video to see it in action, stills genuinely don’t do the dual-layer effect justice.

Safety Information

Overlord is a Category F3 firework with a specified safety distance of 25 metres. Category F3 fireworks are intended for outdoor use in large open spaces only and require a greater degree of experience and space than garden (F2) fireworks. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use the firework only in a suitable large outdoor location, and keep spectators at or beyond the recommended safety distance. Cakes should always be secured so they can’t fall over, watch our safety videos on how to secure your cakes with bricks or wooden stakes.

Never hold a lit firework or return to a firework that has failed to ignite. Children and pets should remain safely away from the firing area.
