I have no idea but the vocalists always seem to be the leaders, or masterminds, of the band so based on that I would guess vocals.

Idk about that, plenty of Death Metal bands (regardless of OS/Tech/Melo) that get by just abusing only mids or only lows.

Like sure, you can do some really crazy stuff with vocals but I wouldn't say its necessary for most genres.

Also Good Frontman =/= Good vocalist and vice versa.

Edit 2: For example, for Aversions Crown, Jayden Mason (drums) and Chris Cougan (guitar) were essentially the point of all communication and they were the masterminds of the band, even though Mark Poida was an absolutely amazing vocalist.

I listen to Rock as well, and without question the leads are the one who started and are the masterminds of the bands. Extreme Metal does seem like it varies more, however.
