Goss was in a long-term relationship with and then married guitarist Alexi Laiho, who appeared on both Sinergy and Children of Bodom and where Alexi performed lead vocals. Although the couple split in 2004, they remained close friends. They both had identical tattoos of a coiled snake around their ring fingers and then had each other's initials tattooed on the upper part of their left arms. The Finnish media announced that they never got divorced after Laiho's death in 2020, but that they were on good terms and had regular text and video communications until the day he died.

Career

Goss began working in music early, debuting as a member of the underground band Avernus at the age of fifteen. She began writing and publishing her own underground extreme metal fanzine at the age of 16, interviewing well-known bands such as Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Bathory to name a few. She moved to Norway at the age of seventeen in order to refuse an invitation she received to play keyboards for Norwegian black metal band Ancient. They went on tour with Dark Funeral and Bal-Sagoth after recording one album with them. She had been invited to keyboards and sing backing vocals on Therion's world tour in support of their Theli album two days after it ended. With Therion, she performed with bands including Amorphis, Sentenced, and My Dying Bride, as well as playing major European festivals, such as Dynamo Open Air.

In 1997, she was invited to Dimmu Borgir as a session keyboardist, and the pair went on tour to advertise their album, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. She met guitarist Jesper Strömblad on the tour with In Flames in August 1997 and together they created the first version of Sinergy. She moved to Sweden in 1998 to rehearse with the band's first line-up and then proceeded to record their debut album, Beware the Fires. During their 1998 European tour, she later went on to briefly play keyboards for Children of Bodom, while their own keyboardist was occupied with school. She moved to Finland a few years ago, where they reformed Sinergy with Finnish musicians together with original band member Alexi Laiho. Sinergy has performed with the likes of Nightwish, Angra, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, and Children of Bodom over the years. In addition, they've appeared at some of the country's biggest metal festivals, including Wacken Open Air.

In Japan, Sinergy's triumph culminated in Goss receiving an invitation to write a monthly column for more than three years. The country's most popular music magazine. Goss has also worked with other bands, writting some lyrics for Children of Bodom on three of their albums, and lending her voice to other musicians, including Warmen, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, To/Die/For, Exhumation, Kylähullut, and The Wicked.

Sins of the Past, Bodom's fourth Sinergy album, began in 2004, but the album was never completed due to Children of Bodom's hectic schedule. In a talk with Ultimate-Guitar.com in February 2011, Alexi Laiho said that Sinergy has been defunct. Kimberly began scoring background music for various TV shows that had aired on The CW, ABC Family, Freeform, Syfy, and MTV among other things in mid-2011.
