Also they are an established band I doubt some nobodies could do this.

You show a fundamental lack of understanding of how the music industry works - even through some of your sarcasm....
Production costs are 5/8 of fuck in when compared to the add-ons for distribution and marketing.
Most artists are lucky to see 5% of a CD sales, and THEN with conditions of payback etc.
Between the "donations" and the pre-orders for the special box set (again, WITHOUT "distribution" and "marketing" costs of the record company) they will make a killing.
And good for them.
