Ken Owen

Ken Owen is a drummer, from Liverpool, UK. He is best known as one of the founding members of Carcass, for which he also handles some of the vocals in the beginning. After the band broke up in 1995, he started Blackstar along with two other former Carcass members. In 1999, he suffered from a brain haemorrhage, making it impossible for him to continue playing the drums. Recently, he seems to have recovered largely, and has started playing drums again.

He also inspired Carcass to do the medical content as a lyrical concept.
