I thought I'd highly a few releases that I'm disappointed missed out on our top 100 now. Some of those will perhaps be because there were so many good albums that I personally could have voted for that these ones drew the short straw and there's also some I've only discovered more recently that I didn't have time to digest properly to vote for. Anyway, enjoy. And please also post the releases you're disappointed never made it.
In no special order:

I only picked up this very recently. In fact I didn't own any of Ihsahn's solo albums until recently, though I had heard the early ones a while ago. I've been really getting into his solo work lately, but not in time to revise my list to include this album, which I personally think is superior to After.

Many of my favourite power metal albums of the 2010s made it into the best of decade, but not one of the oldest ones that's had many plays. Considering it still sits on top of my 2012 list on RYM I probably should have given it more points myself, but that just goes to show how hard it was to rank a total of 50 albums from across ten years.

Perhaps overshadowed by Ayreon's The Source by Lucassen's 2010s output, and it certainly drew a short straw in my personal submission to the vote despite being my top 2010 album at the time of release, but I am surprised no one sent any points the way of Victims of the Modern Age.

The subject of an MMA reviewer's challenge some time ago, I'm sad that this somewhat unique blend of atmospheric BM with bluegrass songs didn't make the cut, though it did claw 93 points total.
http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/paradise-lost/the-plague-within" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/paradise-lost/the-plague-within
I could easily put all three Paradise Lost albums of the 2010s here, but this one has ended up my personal favourite of their three offerings for the decade. It gained a respectable 109 points. Tragic Idol and Medusa fell short at 6 and 32 points respectively.
http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/wilderun/olden-tales-and-deathly-trails" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/wilderun/olden-tales-and-deathly-trails
One of my favourite folk metal albums of the 2010s. I really wish I'd been able to give it more points myself, but there were too many damn fine albums to try and rank.
