Chris Catalyst playing with The Sisters of Mercy at Rock'n Coke Festival, Istanbul, 2006...

Chris May, commonly known as Chris Catalyst aka Robochrist was recruited as
The Sisters' second guitarist for the 2005 tour and has since been a steady member
of the band.

Before that, he had been kicking about Leeds' music scene for several years.
Given the incestuous nature of said scene, it can hardly be surprising that someone who had worked at Joseph's Well, the notorious scene of 1997's Near Meth Experience gig, has joined The Sisters of Mercy.

Chris had also worked with Adam Pearson at Adam's studio in Headingley, Leeds.
Together they played a one-off gig by The Elvis Presleys From Hell in 2005.
A video of this has recently surfaced on YouTube.

Apart from playing guitars with The Sisters, Chris is a member of the Eureka Machines.
Various promo videos about them exist, for example this one titled Chris Catalyst Cribs.
In October 2012, the band launched their first Pledge Music campaign featuring their third album, which reached the target amount within 2.5 hours.

Accordingly, their third album Remain In Hope was released on February 21rst, 2013.

Recently, Eureka Machines started their current Pledge Music Campaign for their FOURTH album, tentatively entitled ‘BRAIN WAVES’, also including a live-DVD with a whole lot of additional features on it. The Campaign is still open for pledges and release of Brain Waves is scheduled for March 2015.

Eureka Machines are touring regularly. Gigs to support their upcoming album have already been arranged for April and May 2015.
For detailled information, please see the Eureka Machines official site or their page on facebook.
