Description: Episode 18 - The Growl PodcastC.R. sits down with the legendary Jack Owen. For those who live under a rock, Jack was one of the founding members of Cannibal Corpse, spent years ripping with Deicide, and currently holds the fort down with Six Feet Under. I got Jack to open up about his departure from Cannibal Corpse, what it was like working with the most evil man in music, Glen Benton, and the drama of the Florida Death Metal Scene. I also bring in some 'Fan Questions' into the mix for the first time...
