Now it’s official!
Ignacia Fernández, the girl who performed live Death Metal during the nationally televised semifinal of Miss World Chile 2025 on November 2nd, won the contest. Accompanied by the band’s guitarist Carlos Palma, she stunned the audience with a live rendition of one of DECESSUS’ songs, demonstrating her ability to embody a death metal powerhouse while maintaining the poise of a beauty pageant contestant.
The final was on November 09th and shortly afterwards, she took to Instagram to thank her supporters, “a little piece of my soul that inspires me to keep growing and dreaming big”. She also vows to move forward with “energy and heart” as she prepares to represent Chile in the Miss Universe contest in Thailand later this month.
“Couldn’t be more happier and grateful!” Fernández wrote “I take on this beautiful challenge with all the energy and heart put into representing my country in the best way.”
“I promise to give it my all, with passion, labor and purpose. Thank you for the worldwide recognition of my singing, a little piece of my soul that inspires me to keep growing and dreaming big. Let’s go all the way Chile…. for that crown!”
Good luck Ignacia!

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
