This split introduced me to Adorno for the first time, and god damn am I glad it did. I find myself listening to Adorno more and more lately. One of the only bands where I could really say that every new album or split I can get my hands on really is even better than the last, with no regrets. Speaking of which, I'm currently looking for their original self-title in addition to the splits with Auxes and The Black Heart Rebellion, respectively. Holla if you got it.

However, according to their myspace, which they use frequently, they recorded a Demo in 2005, a "Live" CDR in 2006, and a split with L'homme Puma on Whosbrain Records. We'll wait until payday to order these. Now, if they would come to the U.S....
