Questions
What tuning is Words from the Exit Wound in?
Napalm Death recorded Words from the Exit Wound (1998) in C♯ Standard, about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Every song uses it.
Why does Words from the Exit Wound sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 11 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, so you only tune the strings.
