Raubtier (German: carnivore/predator) is an industrial metal band from Haparanda, Sweden, formed in 2008. They came up with the name from the movie "Predator", which in German is "Das Raubtier". The band was established in 2007, originally under the name Hunter/Killer. Initially (while they were still Hunter/Killer), the band wrote lyrics in English - early versions of such songs as "Dobermann," "Götterdammerung," "Lebensgefahr" and "Sick Fuck" (released as Raubtier's song "Apokalyps") were released online on the band's MySpace entirely in English. However, the idea was abandoned because, according to Pär Hulkoff, the English language was unable to convey their true meaning, so in 2008 the band changed the lyrics to be sung in Swedish and the band's name was changed to Raubtier.
