Does this make any sense to you?

The manager pumped a lot of cash into these guys to get things going for them, buying them onto tours, studio time, etc, etc. They got signed to Nuclear Blast and decided the manager was no good and wanted to drop him. The manager wanted his money back, so they split rather than pay him. That's the simple story.
 
money over continuing the band? freakin' rock star attitude

never heard of them, so no big loss
