Septic Flesh – “Modern Primitive” album review

The Greek godfathers of dark symphonic metal are back with a stunning new album “Modern Primitive” Septicflesh are along with fellow countrymen Rotting Christ the best known metal exports from the wonderful land of Greece. Since their inception in 1990, they have put out 10 full length albums, now fleshed out (deliberate pun) to 11 with latest offering “Modern Primitive“. So, how does it fair…

there are several scandinavian horse breeds that would have fit sensibly in skyrim but for some reason the vanilla horse's conformation is pretty clearly based off a belgian draft

Unpopular opinion: I hate the Uglies book series

i think people really overestimate how much 'training' it took to get my dogs to be successful sled dogs. Slash's first run is on video right here on this very blog. I had no idea what he'd do, but i just put him into harness after doing minimal ground work and he hauled ass so joyfully. Put into harness with the other dogs for the first time he's confident and fearless. You can hear me exclaiming in surprise at the ease of everything in the video.

Of course some training occurs to make directional commands and leaving distractions reliable, but teaching this in harness where the reward is to pull and run is in my experience 100% easier than teaching it on the end of a leash with treats for my dogs. Mushing is the easiest thing i've ever taught these dogs because for over a hundred years they've been bred with this behavior in mind. Mushing is where sled dog breeds present the most 'biddability'.

They are perfectly suited for what they are, but often struggle to be typical modern 'good dogs' in a typical modern 'good dog' environment such as a classroom (required to be quiet, required to not pull, required to be still) or a dog park (doesn't like strange dogs, plays intensely in a way other dogs do not like, does not tolerate rude dog behavior, expects understanding of subtle body language).

People owning them without experiencing the environment in which they were meant to be in will never experience the fullest extent of good they can be, how being in harness makes them more biddable and suits every aspect of their temperament. A modern dog owner who does not do pull or packing sport with a dog bred to pull and pack will struggle as their dog finds joy in leaning into harness, at how much more active they are in cold weather. Put into a modern dog environment they will always fail to be the 'good dog' when compared to breeds which suit the modern sensibilities of most dog owners more, but their stubborn, cocky, hearty and survivalist nature is perfectly suited to mushing out in cold weather where those more biddable, more 'modernly suited' dogs may struggle and become 'bad' or 'difficult dogs'.

Most of modern society and expectations for dogs are not built with dogs like mine in mind, but I can actively work to provide a home environment and lifestyle for my dogs that does.
