Founding guitarist [[Jack Owen]] left Cannibal Corpse in 2004 to spend more time on his second band, [[Adrift (band)|Adrift]], and also joined [[Deicide (band)|Deicide]] in late 2004. [[Jeremy Turner (guitarist)|Jeremy Turner]] of [[Origin (metal band)|Origin]] substituted on guitar for the band's 2004 tour of Mexico in support of their album ''[[The Wretched Spawn]],'' after being referred to the band by [[Erik Rutan]] of [[Hate Eternal]] (who would later join the band himself in 2019). The band also played [[Wacken Open Air]] and toured the US that year. Turner stated that he believes he played approximately 90 shows with the band over a six-month. The band ultimately did not hire him as a permanent replacement for Owen due to his locality in Kansas; although Turner said that he would have been willing to relocate to join the band, the band in the long run did not feel comfortable "uprooting" him from his family and life. [[Rob Barrett]] re-joined the band for a concert at the Northwest Deathfest in Washington in 2005, before ultimately reassuming guitar duties permanently following several months of deliberation. Barrett's mother stated in the ''[[Centuries of Torment: The First 20 Years|Centuries of Torment]]'' documentary that she discouraged his decision to leave the band in the first place.<ref name=":4">{{cite web|url=https://www.metallian.com/cannibalcorpse.php|title=Cannibal Corpse Biography|website=metallian|access-date=August 1, 2022|date=August 1, 2022}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |title=Cannibal Corpse Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio & ... |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/cannibal-corpse-mn0000545534#biography |access-date=2025-01-21 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGPot3rP53o&t=2413s |title=Cannibal Corpse - Centuries of Torment - DVD 1 - History (OFFICIAL) |date=2013-11-20 |last=Metal Blade Records |access-date=2025-05-20 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
