Chords
Tune down 1/2 step and transpose +1 to play in E minor, or capo 1 and transpose -1 to play in D minor.
In reality they're using 7-string guitars tuned down, probably to drop Ab - Ab Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb
The first part of the intro is based on Phrygian Dominant - Root, flat second, major third, fourth,
fifth, minor 6th, minor 7th, hence the major chord at the beginning.
