Snuff the Punk is the debut studio album by Christian nu metal band P.O.D. The album was released on January 25, 1994, on Rescue Records, which was owned by Noah Bernardo, Sr (band members Sonny Sandoval's uncle and Wuv Bernardo's father). It was remixed, remastered and re-released with new artwork by indie label Diamante in 1999. The original cover showed a cartoon character with a gun, but the re-released album cover issued a censored cover art with this illustration removed.
In July 2014, Guitar World ranked Snuff the Punk at number 22 in their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.[1] Cleveland Scene noted that the album is one of the earliest nu metal albums, comparable to Korn's self-titled which was released the same year.[2]
P.O.D.All band members are credited by their first name only, bar Noah Bernardo, who is credited as “Wuvy” in the liner notes.[3]
