The band
The history of Nightstalker begins in the group Sercati, black progressive metal. In this formation Steve “Serpent” Fabry, bassist-singer-songwriter, begins to tell the story of the angel. In the first CD Sercati, we follow the fall of the angel and the search for his place in a foreign world.
But, the character takes another dimension by the writing and publication of a book called “Le journal du Nightstalker” because music, finally, tells a small part of the history of the character and his universe. Steve needs to go further and decide in parallel to a personal musical project where he can express all the feelings of his character and his universe.
In partnership with “Wolfshade records”, the project of an album can be considered. Then starts recording and development of a new step in the history. Steve called the project with the name of his character to affirm his universe. The album was released March 13, 2013 under “Wolfshade records”.
In the album, Against the anesthetist, we follow the angel in his fight against anesthetist: a messenger of Lucifer, hand made of syringes, decided to eradicate the angel who watches over human beings. During the battle, his enemy injects a hallucinogen and the hero finds himself in his mind to fight against all his fears. He must face his fears to get out alive. Each song corresponding to an advance in history. But his fight is not ready to be finished…
In 2015, Steve adapt the first book of the adventures of Nightstalker in audio-book and released this first audio-book in July 2015 under ESOPE EDITIONS.
