Looking for "real" wall brick! (not lightweight concrete)

Well, here's the deal. I've seen lots of variants of wall bricks/decorative bricks, ranging from "cheap" ones like Byggmax (still 400 SEK/m2) to Konradssons Kakel (over 1000 SEK/m2). But they're all made of lightweight concrete rather than "real" brick.
So does anyone know if there are wall bricks made of real brick? Tips are gratefully received!

There are companies that cut real bricks into thin slices, so they can be installed similarly to decorative stones. Ekologiska Byggvaruhuset uses old bricks: http://www.ekologiskabyggvaruhuset.se/760/tunna-golvtegelplattor-atervunnet

Ecological Building Store seems to only have stones for flooring that are cut the "wrong way" to be wall bricks; but I'll contact them to see if they can perhaps cut differently instead.
Horns Brickworks appears to have stones in 260x65x15 mm, which is exactly the right dimension, and they are not too far away either, so they will also receive a phone call soon.
Thank you very much for the tips so far!
