I Declare War

For Seattle's I Declare War, one of the new heavyweights in the deathcore scene today, there are conflicting stories as to where the band's name actually originated from. All five members can agree that hip hop was the influence, either based on the Jay-Z tour or the Pace Won album, both of which bear the same name. The fact that the deathcore band's name is inspired by hip hop is not ironic at all, as I Declare War will concur that their diverse musical influences help keep their sound unique and fresh.
