On 20 April 2017 was released a new full-length album titled "86", as American English slang for getting rid of something, ejecting someone, or refusing service, which is also appeared to be the birth year of the lead vocalist Lena Sсissorhands (1986). The album features 11 tracks. The three albums were recorded in a Moldovan studio named Must Music and were produced by Valentin Voluța and Infected Rain.[citation needed] The lyrics for Infected Rain songs are written by Lena Sсissorhands and they are in English. The music is composed mainly by the guitarist Vidick, with contributions from all other members. As a female frontman, Lena was noted for her tattoos and her strong vocals. She is coached by New York-based Melissa Cross. For her style, Lena was named by local media "the most excentric vocalist of Moldova".
