The World of Tiberon

Tiberon is a rich and varied place, with a diverse cast of characters, locations and various histories that are being explored by the band’s music. The world of Tiberon is constantly being updated and developed, as the band creates more music so does Tiberon take on a definitive character and form.

In 2015, the band took the decision to branch out into not just producing music and the standard merchandise, but to commit to further developing Tiberon and the stories that take place within it, as an inspiration for, and from, the music that the band creates.
