I think most people don't take into account other people's opinions when they make music. You do what you want and are able to do and, like you said, sometimes it just happens that a lot of people like it.
I agree to some extent to what you say that those elements together may seem forced.
The video could relate more to the music, but it would be much harder and less interesting for me to do.
I did the video as a 360 3D experience (if you're watching on a PC you can drag the video around with your mouse or if you're watching on a smartphone or tablet you can just turn the device around):
Here's the (non 3D) 360 version. I haven't uploaded the 3D 360 version yet.
Then I saw the video "unwrapped" as a 2D film (like you have a globe and unwrapped to a rectangle) and preferred it that way.
Only after all that it occurred to me that this could be a live performance with the unwrapped video as background. So this performance was not planned to be like this from the beginning. I just grabbed what I had and went for it.
I liked the idea of an abstract trippy video with a few heavy songs. But that was just me
I am also thinking about different ways to present myself (minus the scythe):

Do you think it would work? I have the feeling that I would sing and act very different if I sang with that costume. This week I am going to meet with a friend and ask him to help me book a show nearby.
