is there a proper music theory term for song structure when a song just completely changes halfway through? this song for example goes from a heavy/melodic progressive metal song and then changes to slow and clean halfway through for it to kick up again at the end with still a totally different progression and melody from the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7cH6o_sblg

It's called two songs jammed into one. Seriously though I know what you mean but I can't help you so here's a bump.

Modulation is specifically when the key changes
>>
I think what you're describing is a specific section type called an interlude. Its literal definition is "a musical composition inserted between the parts of a longer composition." I think from composition to composition the label of a section can be argued based on its contextual application, but I think it's good enough in this case.

Like another anon said, it's a key change. A music major would call it modulation though. Middle eight could also be used to describe a moment in the song where the feel or sound changes, temporarily of course.

Based on me playing along with it, I think it's in G#m

"Send an angel..." G#m --> "To pull me up..." --> BMaj --> "This body doesn't feel like home" -- Emaj

I don't know the technical terminology but BMaj seems to become the dominant sound in the breakdown. So they play out the rest on the minor third.

G#m - Tonic/Root
B - Minor 3rd
E - Major 6th

G# - A# - B - C# - D# - E - F# - G#(root)

Not really key change. They're just playing off the relative major, B.
