Jack Owen (Born January 1968) 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."

- “I'm more of a guitar related music fan; thrash, speed, guitar rock. Anything with guitars up front. Don't bury it in keyboards!” [ [http://www.tombofthemutilated.net/Cannibal-Corpse-Jack-Owen-Chat-Transcript.html A Chat With Jack Owen Of Cannibal Corpse ] ]
