The man himself that started it all back in 1995 with the creation of original name Raven. Jarno's first role was guitars and synth in Raven's "Alone In The Mist" the very first CD that they made however did not release to the public. Jarno then proceeded to appear in the first CD produced under the name Shape Of Despair called "Promo Tape 1998" not a very grand name however it does contain the great songs of "Quiet These Paintings Are" and it's outro entitled "Outro". He is also apart of a band called The Mist And The Morning Dew with the roles of acoustic and lead guitars. Jarno is still apart of Shape Of Despair and currently appears to have no plans on retirement. It's expected that he will be sticking with the band for a long time to come.
