Mahumodo was an English experimental hardcore/post-hardcore band from the UK formed by Mehdi Safa in 1997. They recorded four EPs: 'Shels', 'Bythewaters', 'Aprils' and '*Waves', all released on their own label, Shelsmusic. The band received critical praise for both their live shows and EPs, with comparisons to American acts Deftones, Will Haven and Tool.^{[citation needed]}

The band split in 2003 when founding member Mehdi Safa, started a new project *shels with Mahumodo drummer Tom Harriman.

In 2003, Mehdi Safa, singer-songwriter of Mahumodo and drummer Tom Harriman started a new Project called *shels.
