Raubtier (German for "predator") is a Swedish industrial metal band from Haparanda. They released their debut album, Det finns bara krig ("There is only war" in English), in 2009.[http://sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/musik/skivrecensioner/article421562/Raubtier.html Sydsvenskan, 2009-03-24: Raubtier – Det finns bara krig] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209023126/http://sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/musik/skivrecensioner/article421562/Raubtier.html |date=9 February 2010 }} (album review) {{in lang|sv}} Their first single, Kamphund ("Attack Dog"), had already become a hit on the Swedish radio station Bandit Rock 106,3. The band's second album, titled Skriet från Vildmarken ("The Call of the Wild"), was released in 2010.

Raubtier toured with Sabaton during Sabaton's "World War Tour" in December 2010 which saw them visit several countries in Scandinavia.[http://www.sabaton.net/tour.html World War Tour] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728182958/http://www.sabaton.net/tour.html |date=28 July 2010 }}

Raubtier released a new single in November 2013 called Qaqortoq which was later included in the upcoming album Pansargryning which was released in May 2014.

A further single, titled Den Sista Kulan ("The Last Bullet") was released at the end of August 2015, again as a teaser for the upcoming album Bärsärkagång, which was later released on 19 February 2016. This album also came in a special edition with commentary from Hulkoff, where he talks about his inspirations and each song's meaning.

Their lyrics are mainly in Swedish, with occasional exceptions, such as Dragunov (English) and Tropaion (partly in Afrikaans).
