Mahumodo was an 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 had received critical praise for both their live shows and EPs, with comparisons to American favourites Deftones, Will Haven and Tool.

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