Jack Owen has been the backbone of the most legendary death metal on the planet, but his latest work with Six Feet Under on Next to Die is sparking a massive debate among the purists. Is the “legend of death metal” getting soft, or is he finally exposing the exhaustion of the 1,000-mile-an-hour arms race? Owen pulls back the curtain on why he’s trading the archive of riffs for a “Stoner” vibe and what really happens when the high-pitched chaos of the past meets the reality of aging in the extreme scene. You won’t believe what he says about the “censored” art that almost broke the industry.
