Maurice de Jong, known by his moniker Mories, is a Dutch composer and musician. He is best recognized for his multiple music projects, namely Gnaw Their Tongues, Seirom, Aderlating, Cloak of Altering and De Magia Veterum. His compositions are informed by ambient music, black metal, drone music, electronic music and the avant-garde. His interests lie in invoking a disquieting and nightmarish atmosphere with his music, which often utilizes distortion and dissonance. Lauded as a most prolific composer, de Jong has recorded an upwards of three albums per year since 2007.
Cloak of Altering is a black metal musical project founded by Dutch multi-instrumentalist and composer Maurice "Mories" de Jong in 2010. The project was a continuation of his Ophiuchus project which began in the late nineties. Compared to de Jong's other projects, synthesizers and electronic music play a larger role in the compositions of Cloak of Altering. Five full-length albums have been released: The Night Comes Illuminated With Death (2011), Ancient Paths Through Timeless Voids (2012), Plague Beasts (2014), Manifestation (2015) and I Reached for the Light that Drowned in Your Mouth (2017).
