Teemu Mäntysaari Says Megadeth “Are Very Close To Completing The Recordings” For Their Final Album

Megadeth guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari has offered a new update on the band’s final album. According to him, the group “are very close to completing the recordings.”

Mäntysaari said the following:

“Hey, Teemu from MEGADETH here. I hope you guys are doing great. I just wanted to give you a little update on what’s been going on lately.

Most of this year we’ve been in the studio working on the new MEGADETH music, starting with songwriting, getting in the studio and jamming together, arranging the songs, recording demos, getting all the little details right, getting the final takes and slowly crafting the music to its best form. So there’s been a lot of traveling between home, my home studio in Zurich [Switzerland] and the band’s studio in Nashville. We also got to squeeze in a couple of festival shows this summer.

Currently we are very close to completing the recordings for the album,” Teemu revealed. “I think the songs are sounding great, and I am super excited for you guys to hear it soon as well. So I hope you guys stay patient for just a little bit longer. New music and a lot of other exciting things are on the way. We have also some shows coming up this fall. We are playing an exclusive headlining show in Istanbul, Turkey on the 22nd of September, followed by a four-week tour across Europe with DISTURBED. So if you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, now is the time. I hope you also check out our VIP options so we can meet you in person.

I’m really looking forward to getting back on tour. See you guys soon.”
