Dave did have throat cancer in 2019 and had it treated with chemo and doses of radiation that did mess him up for a few days. The song itself is about the Chernobyl accident that caused a radiation fallout, the lyrics describing gruesome details would be a reference to those that died from high level radiation, whereas those that lived had to abandon the whole town, and doing so made a safe haven for wildlife like dogs to live away from humans, also that weird static type sound at the start and end of the song is a Geiger counter, the closer you get to radiation, the more it ticks. Also you absolutely gotta go down the Megadeth rabbit hole, they’re so damn good.
Awesome album! This song has it all. Sets the scene of kids and adults enjoying a day in the park. Turns brutally heavy during the confusion of what just happened. Then turns into chaos and speed. It helps imagine what it may have been like at Chernobyl the day it happened. Megadeth staying true to their craft!
Dogs of Chernobyl were abandoned and left for dead because they were radio active and no one wanted them. so this song is metaphoric. Means when he really needed her she was now are to be found like the owner of the Dogs. So he feels like the dogs of Chernobyl and describing his slow sad death. great song. 🤘🤘
im pretty sure they were forced to evacuate and they couldn't bring their dogs, and they were told only to bring things essential and dogs were not considered essential the dogs adapted to the radioactivity and most other pets died.
The song about Nuclear fallout and slow painful death from radiation.. Like a dog left behind after the nuclear collapse.. Its a double meaning.. It’s a relationship song… She dropped everything and left me behind like a Dog in Chernobyl.. And what would being left behind in Chernobyl be like for a being?.. Horrible.. Horrific and painful.. “Bloated belly’s their legs get weak, organ’s liquify… This is how the DIE… This is how they die”
This whole album is awesome
Man I can get over how good this album is.. I've practically been playing it none stop since release.

Totally check out this whole album, it's great
I love how the first half of the song is Countdown but then the last half sounds like a slayer type groove and lyric delivery lmao
In the immortal words of Stone Cold..."HELLYEAH" You should do a full album review of Megadeth's new record, get some beer and do it now

He is speaking about the Chernobyl nuclear melt down disaster, and the people who tried to contain it.
Al final se escucha el contador Higer que mide la radioactividad
Ya know this threw the eyes of beloved pets
Dave had throat cancer in 2019
Kkk queria saber oque ele está dizendo
