The mainstay members of Kerber are vocalist Goran Šepa "Gale", guitarist Tomislav "Tomica" Nikolić and keyboardist Branislav "Bane" Božinović.
Their following releases launched them to the top of the Yugoslav hard rock scene, with a number of their songs becoming hits, especially their power ballads with poetic lyrics written by lyricist Duško Arsenijević.
[4] In early spring of 1982, Madić left the band to serve his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, and was replaced by former Mama Rock and Plamteće Nebo (Flaming Sky) member Zoran "Sosa" Žikić.
[4] In July 1983, Kerber recorded their debut album, Nebo je malo za sve (The Sky Is not Big Enough for All), produced by Gordon Rowley, bass guitarist of the British heavy metal band Nightwing.
[5] The album brought nationwide hits "Mezimac", "Nebo je malo za sve" and "Heroji od staniola" ("Tin Foil Heroes").
[4] In January 1984, during the tour through Macedonia, Stamenković contracted infectious hepatitis, so in March, during the Kerber's performance at the music festival in Opatija, he was temporarily replaced by Generacija 5 drummer Slobodan Đorđević.

[4] At the end of 1996, Kerber held a concert in the Niš central city square as a part of the 1996 Serbian protests organized in response to electoral fraud.
