Lance Barnewold is one of Fate Breaks Dawn's founders as well as the band's lead guitarist.

Formed in 2012, Fate Breaks Dawn plays a combination of power, thrash, and progressive metal. Featuring high-octave vocals, heavy riffs, and progressive time signatures, the band's style of music is very unique.

It started in 2014 with their blistering self-titled debut album, continued with 2018’s Pawn And Prophecy and achieves its most intense peak yet with the no-holds barred, gauntlet-thrown, real heavy metal mission that is Whore Of Babylon, led by Mike LePond (known worldwide as one of the foremost bass virtuosos in heavy metal music and a member of progressive metal band Symphony X).
Alan Tecchio (vocals) and Lance Joseph Barnewold (lead guitar) States LePond. “Jamming with these guys is a no stress situation. There are no egos, there’s no bullshit, it’s just love of this metal music that drives us all.

Riot V, formerly known as Riot until 2012, is an American rock and power metal band founded in New York City in 1975.

Lance Barnewold is currently a backup guitarist for Riot in place of Nick Lee. Throughout 2016, Lance toured across the United States, Canada, and South America with the band.
