Arbeit macht frei

The story behind

Area released Arbeit macht frei as their first studio album. The song Arbeit macht frei is part of that album, which lasted 7 minutes and 59 seconds. The main vocals are by Demetrio Stratos, also responsible for the music along with Giulio Capiozzo and Patrick Djivas. The text was written by Gianni Sassi, who signed as "Frankenstein". The bass was played by Patrick Djivas, who later joined another band, and the saxophone was by Eddie Busnello. The three parted ways after the release. To record the material, they used the name Terzo Fariselli, father of Patrizio Fariselli, because no one from the group was in SIAE.
