Biography
Elena Cataraga (born 22 November 1986), known professionally as Lena Scissorhands, is a Moldovan heavy metal singer and songwriter. She is the lead singer and one of the founding members of the Moldovan metal band Infected Rain. She is also the vocalist of the American alternative metal band Death Dealer Union.
Cataraga attended school in Chișinău and at the age of 13, she became interested in alternative music. Fascinated by hard riffs and aggressive vocals, she discovered her love for metal music at the age of 14. She later worked as a makeup artist and trained as a hairstylist, giving her the nickname "Scissorhands".
In addition to singing with Infected Rain, Scissorhands has also guest-sung on other musical projects (including Seas on the Moon, Nu-Nation, Anotherkind, Chase the Comet). A special feature is her guttural singing (growling, screaming); however, she also practices clean singing. The change in vocal technique - very often within the same song - is characteristic of the music of Infected Rain. Due to her style, Scissorhands was named by local media "the most eccentric vocalist of Moldova"
