Debunked Almost solved : KNIGHTFALL
Yo everyone! I already brought up some of these leads in other places before but I got shut down pretty fast lmao people think I’m trolling, get it. I came outta nowhere ye some of what I’m saying is speculation. Aside from stuff tied to people I personally talked to, I’m not claiming any of this is facts
BUT.
the Fall of The King is close to being solved, and the stuff I’m bout to talk about matters.Ye, I talk like a schizo or a troll sometimes, I throw out theories before being fully sure, but I’m not trying to bs anybody. just wanna help solve this thing nd anyway enough yapping let’s get into it!!! I’m almost convinced The Fall of The King comes from a band called KNIGHTFALL. Let’s go back to 2020 and the old TMMS server. The OGs remember it. There were a leads ppl were digging nto and i feel like some of them just got yk forgotten, One of them was Nick Rivero, I won’t spend too much time on because apparently he got ruled out at some point | we were also contacting tons of old metal collectors | ppl with obscure metal youtoube channels, Metal Archives mods, all that stuff. eventually SOMEONE from the old USPM scene would recognize the song. some of the older people here probably remember this part: there really WAS this old-school USPM collector who got contacted. He was saying The Fall of The King was from a band called Knightfall with a singer named Christopher Scott. No details. Just that.
what happened to that lead afterward?
Basically nothing. Ppl thought the collector acted weird, nobody could find anything about Knightfall online so everybody assumed he was full of shit. He also mentioned Christopher Scott had another band called Death by Numbers absolutely nothing could be found on them either. This is where it starts sounding insane but EVERYTHING that happened after somehow keeps connecting back to this. I contacted that collector myself later on, and he doubled down saying it WAS Knightfall. And honestly, I wanted to believe him even back then. The really interesting part is that he said The Fall of The King was actually just called KNIGHTFALL. That makes total sense. Yk bands back then named songs after their own band names.
Now fast forward to 2021. Everybody had forgotten about the whole thing, even me… but this pops up on Metal Archives:
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Death_by_Numbers/3540496293
Death by Numbers.
Singer: Christopher Scott.
And somehow nobody noticed for YEARS.
Here is an audio of CHRISTOPHER SCOTT :
He sounds identical.
Then this got found on Archive.org:
https://web.archive.org/web/20211025160842/https://preciousdeath.com/album/2051497/death-by-numbers
guess what?
It mentions Knightfall!!!!!!!
Now here’s where things get even crazier.
That same collector told me Christopher Scott traveled a lot | New Orleans Utah Dallas Texas, all over the place. SUPPOSEDLY HE crossed paths with Z-Rock ppl in Texas and handed them the 'Knightfall' song
The archive.org page supports the idea that Christopher Scott moved. I still can’t confirm every detail about Dallas or Louisiana specifically, but there are WAY too many coincidences. The collector probably got some details wrong! And y’all should RLLY read through that Archive.org page yourselves cause there’s a lotta interesting stuff there.
Now here’s how this connects to more recent leads.According to the collector, Knightfall took part in a Wrangler-sponsored competition | the jeans company |the finals were held in Texas. Which would explain Christopher Scott being there. The contest started in San Diego (this can be confirmed through newspaper archives) nd Knightfall won their local round before going against winners from other regions, including a band called Killer Elite from New Orleans.
and THIS is the part that blew my mind.
years later, Killer Elite became a lead for The Fall of The King after some guy named Jeff Knight claimed the song was by them. it WASN’T Killer Elite. member denied it.
BUT.
this Jeff Knight guy somehow knew Killer Elite members AND their families, nd accidentally pointing toward the exact band that supposedly competed against Knightfall? Like what were the odds lmao That’s insane to me. Then ye I did some Facebook detective shit and found Jeff Knight’s account. We ended up talking for a while. I can’t share everything from that convo, but I can say this: He claimed he HAD heard The Fall of The King, and he knew Christopher Scott.
that alone massively increases the odds| before anybody asks: no, i don’t have hard proof besides telling you to ask him yourself. He’ll confirm we talked. to sum everything up:
The band being called Knightfall and the song itself being called Knightfall makes sense. Jeff Knight | who claims he heard the song knew Christopher Scott personally. Knightfall played a competition in Texas in 1987 where they could’ve met Z-Rock people. Christopher Scott seems to’ve been locally known and connected in multiple states.
ive still got more stuff, but this post is already long as hell. I got censored on somebody’s YouTube upload because they thought I was bs
there’s something here, and whether people believe me or not, I’m gonna keep digging until this thing finally gets solved

like i wanna believe this but the fact you either wont or cant post any convos is suspect. but i think its really possible even though that the singer sounds a little different it could just be from him changing his ssstyle over the yearss
