Nowa Aleksandria

This article is about the album by Siekiera. For the town in Poland, see Puławy.

Nowa Aleksandria is the only studio album by Polish band Siekiera. It was released in 1986, through the record label Tonpress. The album marks a departure from the band's punk rock sound in favour of the coldwave and darkwave genres. Although formerly unpopular within the Polish punk rock music scene, the album has later established a cult following within the Polish new wave scene and is now considered a household name within the cold wave genre in Poland.
