Arch Enemy And Megadeth Guitarist Debate Song Origin…Recently, Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro seemed to point out that Arch Enemy’s “To The Last Breath” and his song “Talking Dreams”, from the album “Theory Of Mind”, which was released in 2024, sounded similar.
Arch Enemy has responded:
In light of a recent copyright infringement accusation against Arch Enemy made by Brazilian YouTuber/guitarist Kiko Loureiro and his lawyer, we feel it best to present clear evidence proving this to be a false claim. In this video you can see and hear the early demos in 2022 which led to becoming “To The Last Breath”.
Anyone familiar with our creative process knows that we document extensively. Demos, drafts, and iterations are part of how we build our sound, and in this case, that documentation unquestionably establishes the timeline.
A statement from Michael Amott below:
“Hey Kiko, sorry to disappoint you and your lawyer, but as you can see and hear, I had the melody back in 2022 already, 2 years before you released your song. Any similarities are purely coincidental. Enjoy the video and good luck with your music, I will continue to not listen to it. Cheers!”
