Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (widely reported).
Andreas Kisser's first album. Everything electric is in E Standard, about 11 ¢ flat on this CD (A ≈ 437). The Abyss, a one-minute acoustic piece, is tabbed in E♭, but TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears E about 34 ¢ flat (A ≈ 432), so it is listed as E Standard at that pitch. The Intro is part of the first track on this CD.

Notes
The community tab puts this short acoustic instrumental in E♭ Standard. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears E about 34 ¢ flat (A ≈ 432) instead, which fits Max Cavalera's word that everything before Chaos A.D. was in standard tuning.
TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears E as the lowest open string, about 34 ¢ flat, and not the E♭ the tab names. Max Cavalera's word that everything before Chaos A.D. was in standard tuning points the same way, so the song is listed in E Standard. If it sounds a half step high, try E♭ Standard.

Questions
What tuning is Schizophrenia in?
Sepultura recorded Schizophrenia (1987) in E Standard, about 11 cents flat (A ≈ 437), measured by TuneLit on the CD. The Abyss uses E Standard −33 ¢.
Why does Schizophrenia sound out of tune with my guitar?
The record sits about 11 cents flat (A ≈ 437), 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, song by song, so you only tune the strings.
