I hadn't heard of this and I thought it was a joke. I thought it was like Steel Seal, seal the animal, ha. Silly me. But hey if DC Cooper is on it it can't be all bad.

Well, you're not the only one who thought that, I had already read something about...
The fact is that in Italy the most common meaning of "seal" is "signet", a "device with a cut or raised emblem, symbol, or word used especially to certify a signature or authenticate a document", specially when the word is used about music and arts (Ingmar Bergmann's "The Seventh Seal", the metal band "Seventh Seal", "Solomon's Seal" by Pentangles, and so on). So, it's hard for an Italian band to imagine that one could think of the marine animal...

Interesting no one thought Primal Fear's Seven Seals was about a pack of artctic animals.

In Italian "seal" as the animal is "foca" (phoca vitulina).

gotcha... then focaccia must be the bread on which a "seal sandwich" is eaten.
