All but your grooveshark links are broken. Let's try these (haven't included the official site as it isn't McAfee-rated)
 
 

Superficially, one could be tempted to align the music of arcane avant-noise instrumentalists Wooden Veil, an art-collective from Berlin, to that of the post-rock variety. However, that would be a facile comparison as Wooden Veil manage to harness a compelling degree of conflict in their often tumultuously mystical sounds which elevates their music above the more proverbial recordings of the aforementioned genre.

Whether it be in the menacingly distorted, death jazz feedback and tribal drumming of the epic 12 minute track 'I Love You So Much', which uses vocal and instrumental carnage as a metaphor for desire, or 'Wooden People' which sounds like one is being dragged through a waterfall backwards while hearing a foreign language for the first time, their music holds a primal primacy which is arresting.

What also gives Wooden Veil's sound its magic is the ability for copious experimentation to occur while a smidgen of rhythmic structure remains so that the sound teeters on the cusp of sonic apocalypse, never quite cascading into it.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Wooden Veil is a Berlin-based art group formed in 2007. Inspired by the shared hauntedness of their respective homelands, they combine elements from forgotten and misremembered traditions to create a microcosmic world which only Wooden Veil inhabits, complete with its own symbols, clothing, food and shelters. Performances, installations and videos are characterized by an expansive wardrobe of ritual dress, and the creation of shrines, relics and talismans used to create music.

The group consists of artists Marcel Türkowsky (also a composer, founder of Snake Figures Arkestra, Cones, Uuhuu, collaborations with Datashock and Christoph Heemann), Hanayo (known for her solo work as a photographer and singer, collaborating with the likes of Christoph Schlingensief, Merzbow, Red Crayola, and Kai Althoff), Christopher Kline (Valkenburg Hermitage, †, Night Music, and Soft Peace), Dominik Noé (member of krautrock legends Lustfaust), and Jan Pfeiffer (Songs For Rocks, Soft Peace, Purple).

Interesting, I didn't think to check PF. I still think they'd stand a good chance in Kraut; after all, kindred spirits Avarus were rejected from RIO/Avant before finally being included. Also, I don't know why my links aren't working lately.
