The Reign of Terror (and Tiara): MISS WORLD METAL HEAD Crowned in Chile!

Ignacia Fernández didn’t just win a beauty pageant—she drop-kicked the whole concept of beauty pageants straight into a mosh pit and emerged wearing a tiara. We’re talking about the new Miss World Chile 2025, who also happens to be a progressive death metal vocalist, and is single-handedly forcing the entire press world to learn the difference between a guttural growl and a polite cough. This is the story of how the reigning miss world metal head shattered stereotypes with a six-foot-tall shriek.

The Gown and The Growl: The Most Epic Talent Show Performance EVER

Forget the flutes, skip the synchronized swimming, and abandon the interpretive dance. The moment that broke the internet—and possibly some eardrums—came during the Miss World Chile semifinals on November 2, 2025.

The stage was set for elegance. Then, 27-year-old Ignacia Fernández, representing Las Condes, stepped out in her pageant finery, sash firmly in place. The judges braced for a ballad. What they got was the unholy union of high-fashion and low-end distortion.

Ignacia, who is the frontwoman for the Chilean progressive death metal band Decessus, dropped her polite facade, brought out her bandmate/guitarist, and unleashed a torrent of expertly executed death metal vocals. She wasn’t singing; she was channeling the tectonic plates of the Earth! It was a full-throttle, guttural assault that earned her the affectionate, if slightly terrifying, nickname “Death Metal Barbie.”

Why Ignacia Is Our New Ultimate Miss World Metal Head

Ignacia’s audacity wasn’t just a stunt; it was a statement backed by serious sonic might. While your average contestant might practice their wave, this miss world metal head spent two years mastering her extreme vocal techniques and works with a speech therapist to ensure her growls are medically approved.

Her band, Decessus, is the real deal, having opened for heavyweights like Jinjer and Epica. This wasn’t a cover; it was an original track, straight from the heart of her metal soul. Ignacia summed it up perfectly, declaring that metal is her “refuge, a source of strength and purpose.”

On Sunday, November 9, 2025, Ignacia crushed the final competition, proving that true authenticity beats convention every single time. She is now preparing to take this glorious metallic chaos to the global stage as Miss World Chile 2025.

She’s not just Miss Chile; she’s the miss world metal head that the genre didn’t know it needed, and the pageant world definitely didn’t see coming. Rock on, Ignacia!
