Adios was originally conceived as KMFDM's parting shot to its longtime record label, Wax Trax! Records, but it ended up also signaling the break-up of KMFDM itself, at least for a time. This was the last album to feature En Esch and Günter Schulz, who went on to form Slick Idiot. Following the break-up, founding member Sascha Konietzko created the band MDFMK, before reforming KMFDM in 2002 without Esch or Schulz.
For a short period of time in 1999, any copy of Adios purchased through the official online KMFDM store was signed by Konietzko and Tim Skold.
The album was released on April 20, 1999, the same date as the Columbine High School Massacre. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the perpretators, were both KMFDM fans, and the former noted in his journal the irony of the album's title.
A digitally remastered reissue of Adios will be released on May 8, 2007, along with Symbols.
