Ignacia Fernández entered the Miss World Chile beauty pageant and went viral for her talent competition performance. While the majority of contestants who must participate in a talent competition choose to sing, Fernández was already a professional singer, having founded the progressive death metal band DECESSUS in 2020. She, of course, showcased one of their original songs at the pageant, accompanied by DECESSUS guitarist Carlos Palma. You can imagine that the judges weren't quite ready for that. However, they were impressed by her performance, which launched Fernández into the top 20 contestants.
Last night, Fernández was crowned Miss World Chile, and will go on to represent Chile at the Miss World competition in Thailand later this month. You can hear more DECESSUS songs at their YouTube channel. And in case you are wondering, Fernández works with a vocal coach to protect her voice from death metal damage. -via Metafilter, where there's a serious discussion about what this kind of singing does to one's vocal chords.
