When Description Source
2018 In the video for "Martyrs", Soen featured five drag performers portraying the band. The concept was deliberately chosen partly because the members expected it to provoke conservative reactions. Drummer Martin López said the video was intended to challenge the fact that people were still offended by men dressing as women, and explicitly defended everyone's freedom to express themselves without harming others.

2023 López explained that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the treatment of Iranian women, particularly the protests following Mahsa Amini's death, had deeply affected the band and influenced its music. He described the importance of addressing civilian suffering and injustice. Source
2023 López criticised the concentration of wealth and the fact that large parts of the population struggle to afford basic necessities. He described the band's desired outcome as a fair society in which everyone can have a decent life. Source
