This would effectively be the release of the album, with the music video on the album disc.
Below is my plan for the front cover of the Digipak.

I have selected "What passing bells" as the title for the CD cover, a reference to the opening lines of "Anthem for the doomed youth", the famous poem about the pointless slaughter during the First World War. The CD cover will be a photograph of a man in front of an industrial backdrop, with a paper bag over his head. This illustrates the callous way in which people's lives are viewed by the wealthy, as millions die of starvation and other diseases of poverty whilst a few people make massive profits. The paper bag represents the dehumanised view of those who do indeed "die as cattle", as part of the quest for profit, whilst the industrial backdrop makes it clear that it's not just in war that lives are tossed away. The background also shows the massively imposing size and power of the industrial giant compared to those that die to feed it.
