Jack Owen (born December 6, 1967) is an American guitarist and a member of the death metal band Six Feet Under.[1][2] He was one of the founding members of Cannibal Corpse. He also had a stint with Deicide—another influential and long-running Florida death metal band—with whom he recorded four albums..[3][4] In 2007, Owen played shows with Adrift before joining Order of Ennead at times when their guitarist, John Li, was unavailable.[5]
Career
[edit]Early life
[edit]Owen recalls a cassette dub of Kiss' album Alive is what initially got him into heavy metal music and playing guitar. He experimented on his father's acoustic guitar before ultimately purchasing his own.[6]
Cannibal Corpse
[edit]Owen was originally in a band called Beyond Death with Alex Webster before forming Cannibal Corpse. They started off playing Metallica and Beastie Boys covers.[7]
He stayed with the band from their formation in 1988 until 2004 when he left because he wanted to move on, as stated in the Centuries of Torment DVD.
Deicide
[edit]Owen joined Deicide in 2004. His first release with the band was 2006's The Stench of Redemption. Owen left Deicide in 2016. He claims it stemmed from a dispute over writing credit with drummer Steve Asheim. Owen claims to have "walked out and ghosted them".[8]
Six Feet Under
[edit]Following his departure from Deicide, he joined Six Feet Under, a band formed by then Cannibal Corpse bandmate Chris Barnes in 1993. Owens addition was announced in February 2017.[9]
