Ken Owen (born April 23, 1970) is a drummer, from Liverpool, England. 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 Carcass members. In February of 1999, he suffered from a brain haemorrhage at home and spent 10 months in Hospital slowly emerging from a coma, making it impossible for him to continue playing the drums. Recently, he seems to have recovered largely, and has started playing drums again but mostly makes music using the computer software program Reason.
He also inspired Carcass to make medical references as a lyrical concept.
