Guitarist Jack Owen has quit CANNIBAL CORPSE, according to a posting on the band's web site. "We are currently working with a replacement," the group write. "All scheduled concerts will still take place. Check back for a more detailed statement in the days to come."

Owen has spent the last few months moonlighting in ADRIFT, a new "emotive, aggro hard-rock" band also featuring ex-EPITAPH/RESURRECTION drummer Kevin Astl.

long-time CANNIBAL CORPSE guitarist Jack Owen has posted a short statement regarding his decision to leave the band, as recently reported:


"After 15 years with CANNIBAL CORPSE, I've decided to leave the group. My heart just wasn't in it anymore, and it was reflected in my appearance on stage. Times change, and I just don't enjoy the music as much as I used to, and the only thing keeping me in the band was steady work, and the pay. These things makes it unfair to myself, my band members, and especially the fans. I'd like to thank all the members of CANNIBAL CORPSE, past and present, for sharing in the conquest of an entire genre of music. I wish the band continued success...

"I would especially like to thank the fans for being there for 15 years. Without you, I wouldn't have made it this far. Your dedication to death metal is unbelievable.

"I am going to continue in music, of course, with ADRIFT. I'd like to thank them for their patience and understanding, and support of my decision. We will meet again, I'm sure..."

We are currently teaching another guitarist our set list for the 'Wretched Spawn' tour, in preparation for our shows in Mexico later this month. Jack will be missed, and we wish him well, but we're not going to let his departure slow us down. Thanks to all of our fans for the great support, we'll see you on tour!"
