The Record Store Podcast Episode #4 - Alex Abbyss (Co-Founder of Psychopathic Records, Creator of 'Chivalrous Arts' Graphic Novel)

On THE RECORD STORE PODCAST, the theme of the “record store” has a double meaning. In reality, a record store is a place of discovery and a safe space where creativity thrives as people open themselves up to new ideas through community. Everyone has their own place like a record store that they find solace in. I’ll deep dive with my guests into what place is special for them, how it’s molded their lives, and we’ll just see where the conversation goes. Whether you are a musician, a DJ, a comedian, a writer, a designer, whatever you are, we all have our own record store.

For this episode, I’m joined by Alex Abyss, co-founder of Psychopathic Records (along with the Insane Clown Posse), about his new graphic novel called Chivalrous Arts, recorded at Astronomicon 7. We discuss his “record store”, which is the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and the importance of creating a safe space for players. Alex shares his experience as a game master and the thrill of creating unique adventures. He talks about the process of writing Chivalrous Arts and the potential for it to become a franchise. We also touch on the early years of Psychopathic Records with ICP and Twiztid and the challenges they faced in the music industry. The conversation ends with Alex emphasizing the importance of hustle and commitment in pursuing one’s passions.
