In 2003 the group started working on a self titled album called The Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band. While getting off to a good start, due to changes in line-up and personal issues, the album did not reach completion and release until 2005 with Aja Kim replacing Jenny Warren on vocals.
As well known guitarist Phil Campbell of Motorhead sat in on the 2nd album, sells were somewhat better than the first. At the same time, numbers and profits were to as good as the band had originally hoped. Still, the group moved forward and continued playing in the United States and abroad.
