Alexander Kuoppala (born 11 April 1974) is a Finnish musician who was the guitarist for the melodic death metal band Children of Bodom from 1995 to 2003.

[1] He played on their albums Something Wild,[2] Hatebreeder,[3] Follow the Reaper,[4] and Hate Crew Deathroll.

The tour had many sold-out concerts and marked the consolidation of the band in North America, but was also accompanied by an unexpected announcement: Kuoppala decided to quit Children of Bodom for personal reasons right in the middle of the tour.

Laiho's bandmate from Sinergy, Roope Latvala assumed the guitars as a session player, until later joining the band as Kuoppala's replacement.

[citation needed] In 2017, Kuoppala joined Finnish metal band Valonkantajat and recorded sologuitars on their last album "Vastavirtaan" in 2018.
