The drummer is focused on other projects
In an interview with the website Rock Overdose, Dave Lombardo spoke about his situation with Slayer since being removed from the band for the Australian tour.
Lombardo says he would like to be in the band, but since he doesn't know how things will develop, all he can do is wait and see.
The drummer says that his side project, Philm, should be his main focus now. In addition, Lombardo says he has reactivated work with the band Grip Inc., with Amen frontman Casey Chaos as the new vocalist. The drummer shared plans for a new album and a possible tour.
