This is what happens when you go with big labels they stretch your funds and kill the lifeline to the money to begin with. I would hope they can still work something out, Lombardo is Slayer.
I'm guessing this is what happens when you stay in a band for decades and have no job skill other than playing an instrument so you just milk it for as long as possible to avoid flipping burgers. Sometimes I think that there should be some kind of government subsidy for people in bands that have achieved some kind of cultural relevance or critical acclaim so they don't have to do things like this.
