It has now been made official that Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro,


best known for his work with ANGRA, has joined MEGADETH.

Says MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine: “I first met Kiko around 8 years ago for a cover shoot for Burrn! magazine. I had no idea who he was, other than the fact he was tremendously talented and that the staff from Burrn! held him in high regard. Since then, I’ve come to see what a guitar virtuoso he is, and I’m deeply encouraged by his depth and talent.”
