Schadenfreude is a 2020 studio album by American post-hardcore band Shiner, their first release in almost 20 years. The album comes after Shiner reunited for a series of performances in the 2010s and reissued all of their previous studio albums as vinyl LPs. After slowly piecing together musical fragments and songs from individual band members and demoing in 2018, the band finalized the recordings and released it in 2020. The reunited band supported the album with a tour through 2022.
