Interacting topological materieals with a non-trivial topology of the electronic band structure and intrinsic magnetic ordering hold promises for spintronic applications. GdSbTe was reported as an antiferromagnetic nodal-line semimetal [1]. We discover GdBiTe with even stronger spin-orbit coupling. The powder is synthesized by a solid-state reaction of the elements. The crystal structure (space group P4/nmm; a = 436.9(1) pm, b = 924.3(1) pm) is determined by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction. The ground state from the first principles calculations is antiferromagnetic with a calculated magnetic moment 7.32 µ_B (expected 7.94 µ_B for Gd(III), J=7/2). Field- and temperature-dependent magnetization and specific heat measurements on polycrystalline samples show an antiferromagnetic state and a metamagnetic transition at 15 K, which nature remains to be eludicated.
