"Snuff" finds Slipknot, a heavy metal band built for fury, slowing all the way down for a ballad. It comes from All Hope Is Gone, their fourth album, and went out on September 28, 2009 as the fifth and last single from it. Dave Fortman produced it with the band, Matt Hyde and Jeremy Parker engineered and Colin Richardson mixed.

It gave them their best chart showing yet, climbing to No. 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and beating the mark set by "Dead Memories". It also turned out to be a farewell: the last single with bassist Paul Gray, who died eight months after its release, and with drummer Joey Jordison, who left in 2013 and died in 2021. Corey Taylor has since played it acoustic at his solo shows in tribute to Gray.
