Necro Corp is one of the original offshoot bands from Necro Construct. The band was originally started by Chris Martinez in 2021, and along with Construct0, is considered the start of the larger Necroverse. Musically the band is is classified as Industrial Metal.

## History

Necro Corp was founded in 2021 by Chris Martinez. The band was explicitly intended to be a continuation of the stories begun by Necro Construct, as viewed from the perspective of the characters who make up the Necro Corp Executive Team: Rivet D. Rivet, Current Flux, Kitty Katalyst, and ADAM 0.

## Sound

Necro Corp's initial sound could be described as a slightly heavier and more industrial sounding but simplified version of Necro Construct. Martinez taking as much musical inspiration from various heavy metal genres as from industrial music. The band lacks the orchestral elements of Necro Construct which were introduced by Ozan Young, as well as the complexity of synthesizers and drums which were primarily the work of Milan Thompson. The band has a stronger industrial influence which is primarily contributed by Lisa Tabb and Alex Rau.

A good deal of the band's sound revolves around harmonizing guitars. Martinez records the lead guitar parts and plays them back along with the backing track while performing the rhythm guitar parts and singing. Jose Cavazos, the other guitarist for the band, provides what is referred to by the band as "texture guitar", and primarily simply plays the songs root note repeatedly in time with the music rather than a structured musical riff. This puts this additional guitar in more of a percussion role with in the band's overall sound.

## In the Necroverse

Within the Necroverse, Necro Corp is a corporation operating on Earth out of Denver, Colorado. The corporation was started by Rivet D. Rivet after the decommissioning of the ASV Necro Construct. The company's flagship product is the After Death Automation Machine (ADAM) which is a device that attaches to the corpse of a recently deceased creature of sufficient brainpower and reanimates the body with a combination of computers and nanobots. The company also has a services division which specializes in private security, "conflict resolution" (mercenary work), asset recovery, courier services that are carried out by ADAM units accompanied by one or more members of the Executive Team. The company incorporated primarily for the legal advantages and exceptions that corporations enjoy on their part of Earth and other planets as compared to individuals and private entities.

While the ASV Necro Construct and its crew had an openly antagonistic relationship with the Great Old Ones, Necro Corp seems to have no such prejudices. It is not unusual for the company to do business with any Great Old One, provided they don't pose a direct threat to the company, its assets, or allies; and have the will and capacity to pay for the company's services. It is even suspected that the company has some kind of deal going with one or more entities to provide some kind of protection to the company from any other eldritch entity that may still harbor a grudge against the company's founder for his past deeds.
