It does sound like that... but I didn't change the tempo! The focus on the kick/snare combo, rather than the overheads, creates the impression. But it's an illusion!

You raise a good point...
The song key is C# minor. I assumed (I think correctly) all tunings are to 440Hz.
There are a few places in the melody where I observed a slight lack of commitment to D or D# (the first implies Phrygian, the other Aeolian). Phrygian sounds more evil (and discordant, spooky etc) -- which suited the vibe of the mix. So there are a few phrases that now land on D for that reason.
You notice it most in the first two vocal lines, the second phrase ends on D ("but no ones talking"). The next phrase then returns to the tonic (C#) -- and that sets up much of the mood of the song. On the tuning: I didn't kill the vibrato entirely; so, although the tuning is tightened, it's not hammering every word onto the the note grid.
