I would argue that "Bleak" has a similar transition, though it starts out vicious and slowly transitions into a melodic masterpiece, before transitioning into a fast paced, brutal conclusion to Opeth's masterwork of "Blackwater Park."
Wouldn't that reversal make it more like the opposite of the Zeppelin song and therefore a Stairway to Hell?
