Kuoppala was with Children Of Bodom from 1995 – 2003. He recorded four albums with the band: Something Wild (1997), Hatebreeder (1999), Follow the Reaper (2000) and Hate Crew Deathroll (2003).
He spoke with Finland's KaaosTV in 2021 and opened up about his departure from the band, saying: "We were headlining (shows) and everything was good, but I remember a few gigs I did, I was just playing like a robot. The passion wasn't there. I talked with Alexi (Laiho) a lot of times, saying 'I feel it's not fair for you guys that I'm not so into this anymore. I decided I have to check the next card in my life, and that's why I left the band. I definitely did the right thing, but of course I've had those moments when I wish I could be on a tour bus again, but I'm happy I made the decision back then. It would have been really heavy for me to just carry on (thinking) 'I don't want to do this...'
