May I first ask a few questions so I might be able to return with proper feedback?

- Who is the target audience?
- What type of music, on the darker side that's clear (and I can already say a bit too "in your face"), but can you tell us something more about genre etc?
- What type of feeling or story doyou wantto convey with the images?

Friendly recommendations:
I don't want to come off as too harsh here but my first impression is that this is more or less just a few pre-made assets slapped together with out much thought to what type of music it actually tries to inform the viewer about or what feeling it tries to evoke. It's clearly that you want to communicate something dark and intense, but to a point that it becomes so clear that it miss it's point and comes off as a bit banal.

If you think about the target audience, the music itself and try to come up with a image in your head that encapsulate this and still leave a bit for the viewer to imagine themselves I think it would result in more interesting work. An example I'll take from the world of movies; if someone hangs themselves you seldom see the full body with a rope around the neck. Not at least until police start to remove the body from the cieling and that's when the scary part is over. It's much more efficient and creepy to leave some of the darkness for the viewer to imagine themselves in their own head by just showing the seconds before or half of the body with the feet dangling in the air. That way the viewer needs to imagine what the rest looks like and that gives the viewer a much more intense experience.

Keep at it!
