Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (widely reported).
Plain E Standard throughout, and sharp: the CD measures about 18 ¢ above concert pitch (A ≈ 445), with every song between 12 and 20 ¢. Later remasters in the library read a few cents lower, but still clearly sharp.

Questions
What tuning is Beneath the Remains in?
Sepultura recorded Beneath the Remains (1989) in E Standard, about 18 cents sharp (A ≈ 445), measured by TuneLit on the CD. Every song uses it.
Why does Beneath the Remains sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 18 cents sharp (A ≈ 445), 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.
