Early life
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
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
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
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]
