Bowman would go on to record several tracks with Pigface for the band's 2003 album, Easy Listening. Her enjoyment of the recording experience, led her to begin writing music again. She purchased a sequencer and began exploring the industrial genre that she had always admired but never actively pursued. In the months that followed, Bowman's basement filled with drum machines and synthesizers. From her basement, she crafted the songs that would make up Amphibious Assault's debut album, District Six, released on The Orchard label. Bowman's former Kittie bandmate, bassist Talena Atfield, has also contributed to Amphibious Assault, as has guitarist Pete Henderson.
