Song Style Shift? May also be an Epic Instrumental Opener (epic in the sense of being long, not as a statement of quality), if it's an instrumental intro to a song with lyrics.

Seems to fit Epic Instrumental Opener, more or less. =O Thanks!
I don’t even know if it’s common enough to be considered a trope, but some songs have a rather long intro that has a completely different tone from the rest and barely transitions into the main song…
Examples: MC Solaar’s Dieu ait son âme
or Gojira’s Flying Whales
…
