Not measured yet
TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from widely reported sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.
A three-song EP, the first Slayer record tuned half a step down: the tuning the band kept for the next decade. It is not in TuneLit's library, so it has no measurement.
