Before we measured, sources said: D Standard, with no pitch given (community).
D Standard by the main tabs. One uploader writes All Hail the Grey Dawn, Vegetative State and Morale in Drop D; the low string is the same D either way. The CD sits at concert pitch (about +4 ¢), and TuneLit's semitone check agrees with D on 8 songs; most of the short, blasting ones give it too little to go on.
