He has also played for Smackbound since 2015.
Megadeth
On 5 September 2023, Mäntysaari stepped in as the lead guitarist on Megadeth's North American tour as guitarist Kiko Loureiro tended to undisclosed family matters. He was appointed on Loureiro's recommendation.
On 21 November 2023, Megadeth band leader Dave Mustaine released an official statement, announcing that the band is "going to move forward with Teemu Mäntysaari as the guitar player for Megadeth" while Loureiro stays on an indefinite hiatus. This became permanent as Loureiro announced his departure from Megadeth in November 2023. In April 2024, Mustaine said that Maantysari is the guitarist that he’s been “looking for for a long time.”
