Kiko Loureiro , former guitarist for Angra and current musician with Megadeth , has announced that he is working on his next studio album, the successor to 2012's Sounds of Innocence.

"I'm in the pre-production phase of my new album," he told Blabbermouth , "I'm working on new songs and I'm going to record the drums next week."
