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. Seven full-length albums have been released: The Night Comes Illuminated With Death (2011), Ancient Paths Through Timeless Voids (2012), Plague Beasts (2014), Manifestation (2015), I Reached for the Light that Drowned in Your Mouth (2017), Zero Devil (2018) and Sheathed Swords Drip with Poisonous Honey (2021).{{cite web |first= |last= |url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=mn0002802179|pure_url=yes}}|title=Cloak of Altering |publisher=Allmusic |date= |accessdate=November 3, 2017}}
