Narrative:

We were cleared for takeoff on runway xxr; normal standard power takeoff and climb to 300 feet when we experienced numerous compressor stalls and vibration from the number 1 engine. The engine rolled back and I stated 'engine failure' and began to trim for the rudder pressure. First officer [advised ATC] and we began to accomplish our checklist for engine fire/severe damage. Tower confirmed that we had an engine problem indicating that they saw the compressor stalls. We were handed off to departure and they gave us a climb to 2100 meters. I said to the first officer negative we don't want to climb that high. Departure did not understand until the first officer [advised] at which time we were given our original altitude of 1500 meters and started to get vectors to runway yy. I continued to fly and the first officer ran the checklist shutting down #1 engine. We finished our procedures built and briefed the approach and continued to land on runway yy. We exited on the taxiway and stopped to have fire and rescue inspect the aircraft. After getting an all clear we taxied to spot X behind a follow me vehicle.after reviewing the maintenance write-up for our flight I realized that I should have included the fact that we didn't get discharge lights for the fire bottles. This was covered during an extensive debrief with maintenance.

Narrative: We were cleared for takeoff on Runway XXR; Normal standard power takeoff and climb to 300 feet when we experienced numerous compressor stalls and vibration from the number 1 engine. The engine rolled back and I stated 'engine failure' and began to trim for the rudder pressure. FO [advised ATC] and we began to accomplish our checklist for Engine Fire/Severe Damage. Tower confirmed that we had an engine problem indicating that they saw the compressor stalls. We were handed off to departure and they gave us a climb to 2100 meters.
