Before we measured, sources said: F Standard, with no pitch given (official).
Recorded live in the studio, all five members playing at once. Hagström played a shorter-scale (28-inch) eight-string after shoulder trouble, but the tuning stayed the same. TuneLit measured the Japanese CD about 4 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 441), effectively concert pitch; Born in Dissonance reads about 6 ¢ flat.
