The Root of All Evil is a Japan-only EP release by the all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens. It includes three new cover recordings of Iron Maiden songs and a dance remix of "The Trooper."[1] This was the band's last recording to feature lead vocalist Aja Kim and guitarists Sara Marsh and Heather Baker, who left the band.

Unlike their previous albums, the EP is not offered on the band's official website.[2]

Prior to the release of the EP, the band first performed the acoustic version of "Different World" on the Los Angeles, CA, radio station 97.1 KLSX in late 2007.[3]
