The song was released as the second single from the album Mono.

AllMusic reviewer Tom Demalon called the song "a dark, brooding cut with a hypnotic guitar line" and noted the bleak nature of the lyrics.

Demalon said Kai Wingenfelder lacked much range, but called the song the band's best melody.

[1] "Every Generation" is Fury in the Slaughterhouse's most popular and successful single.

The song was a commercial success in the band's home country of Germany, peaking at a career high #44 on the Top 100 Singles chart.
