Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see "Money" by Widowspeak)

I love songs that completely change genre partway through. Can be slow acoustic songs that switch to fast techno; loud, bangy songs that turn calm and soft; rap songs with calm, piano-based choruses; whatever.

Examples would be:

Don't forget Bohemian Rhapsody, the all-time king of this niche.

Stairway?

[โ€“] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Stairway is another great example.

Aqualung does it well, too.

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

God yes, using changing genres to tell a story in your music is such a power move

Here is a song I think you are going to LOVE: Set to Stun - Walk Tall II

[โ€“] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're right, I do love it!

[โ€“] EliteCaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Glad to hear it!! They are starting to talk about putting a new album out soon, too!

[โ€“] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Scaretale by Nightwish and Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold are both all over the place in terms of genre.

[โ€“] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Little Piece Of Heaven is the Bohemian Rhapsody of metal, I love it.

[โ€“] lol3droflxp@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Stone Cold Metal by Ensiferum does that as well

[โ€“] folkrav@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On that subject, Sleep Token - The Summoning has a fun progression https://youtu.be/wJNbtYdr-Hg

[โ€“] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

This, but primarily more along proggy lines.
