Former Cannibal Corpse guitarist Jack Owen has revealed there's one album from his back catalogue he'd most like to revisit, and it's a fan-favorite from the band's early era.

Speaking in a new interview with Spain's Made In Metal, Owen pointed to 1991's Butchered At Birth as the record he'd consider re-recording, citing both production issues and the pressure surrounding its creation: Maybe the Cannibal Corpse album Butchered At Birth that came out in 1991.

The production could be a lot better and the writing process was a little more stress filled, I think.

We were trying to make up for sounding simple on the first album, so we overwrote a little bit.

So, yeah, I think that's the only one that's hard for me to listen to, to this day… Of the first four [Cannibal Corpse] albums, it's the one that's probably number four out of those four — for me, anyway." Owen reflected on Cannibal Corpse's early days in Tampa during their second album's recording process.

Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz described months of striving to be "the most brutal band," and wrote the opening riff for "Gutted." Their debut album Eaten Back to Life featured a heavier sound and more gruesome imagery than their first album.

The songwriting was highly collaborative – guitarist Jack Owen said everyone contributed heavily, while vocalist Chris Barnes noted they produced a song every two weeks.

Owen is now a member of Six Feet Under, where he continues to collaborate with Barnes on new material for their upcoming album Next To Die.
