Jack Owen is an American heavy metal guitarist best known for his work in the death metal genre. He was one of the founding members of Cannibal Corpse. He stayed with the band from their formation in 1988 until 2004 when he left because of commitments to his side project, Adrift. Later that year though, he was hired by Deicide—another influential and long-running Florida death metal band—and has recorded two albums with them. As of November 2007, Owen has been playing shows in support of Adrift's full-length album, "Absolution," which Adrift is shopping to interested record labels, and which Owen has said "is the record I am most proud of."

[edit] Biography
Owen played guitar in Beyond Death with Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster in 1987 and joined up with the three other original members of Cannibal Corpse (Chris Barnes, Paul Mazurkiewicz, and Bob Rusay) through their band, Tirant Sin.[1]
In addition to CC Owen wrote the songs "Decency Defied," "Dormant Bodies Bursting," "Gallery of Suicide," and "The Spine Splitter." Jack is rumored to have done both guitar parts in early recording sessions to cover for former guitarist Bob Rusay's incompetence, but this, as far as it's known, is a rumor.
[edit] Personality & Musical Tastes
- "he's got a pretty wry sense of humour"- Alex Webster [2]
- “I don't listen to (Marilyn) Manson or Mudvayne, but I do like Slipknot, just because they're so over the top. In all honesty, though, I haven't seen Mudvayne yet.” [3]
- “I'm more of a guitar related music fan; thrash, speed, guitar rock. Anything with guitars up front. Don't bury it in keyboards!” [4]
