In Grecia si usa. Nel Salento no.

Just made this 'cause i'm little bit bored.. and i wish you will do this kind of video, too. 83 You will get something to do, at least 8D P.S. Best metal-bands comes easily from Finland, German and Italy. Worst ones which i know are from U.S.A., Great Britainn and Norway. Sweden have no totally shit but not anything great, either.
