Snuff the Punk is the debut studio album by American Christian nu metal band P.O.D. It was released on January 25, 1994 by Rescue Records, owned by Noah Bernardo, Sr (lead vocalist Sonny Sandoval's uncle and drummer Wuv Bernardo's father). Described as an early example of nu metal, the album has a more punk-influenced sound with overtly Christian lyrics. A remaster with new artwork was released by independent label Diamante in 1999.
Despite the band's popularity, Snuff the Punk continues to fly under the radar. Reviews of the album are scarce, but the existing ones have been mixed, praising its early version of the band's mix of hardcore punk, heavy metal and hip-hop, but criticizing its raw production, lack of cohesion and preachy lyrics.
