from About.com Heavy Metal

Doom metal has its origins in the early 70’s, with heavy metal band Black Sabbath playing songs with slow riffing and dark, foreboding lyrics.

The idea here is that ontology can be entirely resolved or evaporated into an inquiry into our access to beings, such that there are no independent questions of ontology. As an example of such a maneuver, take Humean empiricism. As good Humean empiricists, we ?bracket? all questions of the world independent of our mind and simply attend to our atomistic impressions (what we would today call ?sensations?), and how the mind links or associates these punctiform impression in the course of its experience to generate lawlike statements about cause and effect relations.
