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]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]
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.
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]
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]
Artistry
[edit]In an interview, Owen self-described his compositional style with Cannibal Corpse as "straight forward" and "not too technical."[10]
