The song was performed by the American metal band Slipknot, which formed in 1995. Although the band's members are known by their stage names, "Snuff" was composed by Shawn Crahan, better known as Clown, and Corey Taylor. An interesting trivia about the song is that it is one of Slipknot's slower and more melodic tracks, highlighting a slightly different musical direction from their usual intense and aggressive style. The melody of "Snuff" features haunting acoustic guitar arpeggios and emotionally-driven vocals, delivering a reflective and introspective vibe.
