The song is also available for free download via the band's Bandcamp page, Perpetuation | Derelict.

"Shackles was actually one of the last songs written for Perpetuation", comments Derelict guitarist Max Lussier. "I was listening to a lot of Iron Maiden,Judas Priest and Metal Church at the time and I think you can hear those influences in some of the melodies and the overall structure of the song."

In February, the band released an album teaser for Perpetuation, which featured an up-close video performance of the guitar solo from "Shackles Of Indoctrination".
